So I took the plunge and got a ten year old Tundra with 230k miles and a misfire for cheap. It took two mechanics, and senior tech two days to figure it out (after I convinced them it wasn’t likely a head gasket based off how it drove) to figure out it was the 2 and 6 fuel injectors. So I’m having all injectors done, and the spark plugs and coil packs myself. My question to you, OPPO, is what else should I do immediately, and what should I plan on in the next year or so? Should I do the wires and connectors for the coil packs while I’m at it?

Hows the rust situation? I assume the timing belt was done at 200?

Truck stuff now, truck stuff later.
Those are your plans.
Drive a Firestone.

All fluids, all filters (don’t forget the cabin), chassis lube, brakes (bleed em, too), shocks.

Diff fluid, oil, coolant flush, brake bleed, fuel filter, hit any grease fittings with some grease.

Timing chain, so I’m ok at the moment. The rust situation is great, actually. Part of the reason we took on a truck with a misfire was that the Toyota dealer who did the PPI said it was the best looking frame he’d seen on a Tundra of that generation in a long time. There’s a spot of rust on the tailgate where the dented bumper pushed into it, but I figure junkyard for both tailgate and bumper anyway.

Transmission shifts fine now, would you think a flush anyway? Power steering?

As others have said, all fluids. Anything that’s a liquid, change it. Including coolant, trans fluid, differential oils, P/S fluid (usually ATF Toyotas) and transfer case if its a 4x4. Apart from that, your basic maintenance checks including brakes, front end slop, check the shocks for wear, maybe an alignment so you’re not grinding tires away.

Shocks are a dangerous idea, because then I think a two inch lift wouldn’t cost me anything at that point.

Anything you aren’t sure has been changed recently should probably be changed.

Immediately? Swap the fluids. All of them. Filters and lube all recommended points. I wouldn’t do the coil packs myself but meh.
Then, start going through the suspension. Bushing, shocks, ball joints. Systematically tightening everything up.

Don’t forget the diffs and transfer case either.
