I currently have a 1988 4cl 5speed. I have found a 1998 3.0 5 speed for sale with 97k. Just wondering about haed gasket issues with that model truck and mpg with that engine. Thanks

 

A 98 will either have a 3.4 5vzfe 6 or a 2.7 3rzfe 4. There are no head gasket issues with either motor.

 

Thanks I ment 3.4 not 3.0 and after doing some searches since I posted I realize there are no hg issues with the 3.4. What fuel mileage do yall get with the 3.4 5 spd? thanks

 

Not sure about the exact miles per gallon but I know for sure it's way better then the 3.0

 

People claim to get all sorts of numbers for gas mileage here, but what is is? 4Runner, Extended Cab truck? If its a 4Runner in my experience you should get anywhere from 16 mpg at the least to 20 at the most.

 

Stock numbers (according to window sticker) are 18 city, 21 highway.

 

You found one as in a Vehicle for sale? Or an engine/trans combo for sale and you are doing a swap?

You are far too vauge, we need more info!

 

As far as mpg.

My 4runner is 1990 3.0 5speed 4wd. Avg. 16-18 (calculated everytime i fill up.)

Moms 4runner 1999 3.4 auto 2wd. Avg 18-21 (also this is only when i have filled up a few times, so this is not calculated much, this is probably the average of calculating twice.)

Both is around town



This is calculated by filling the tank, driving some distance, filling up again. Not completely accurate, but close enough for comparison


Also, i coast a lot down hills so i would actually get less if i left it in gear.

Also, i drive quickly by accelerating fast, my mom's accelerates slowely, that is another factor
