    Toyota 22re? Not as cool as people say?

    Had a 3.0 in a T100 good truck had 200K on it when it died the only problem I had with the motor is it was too costly to get rebuilt or I would still have it. As for the power issues they had it the runners and T100's that was the eggheads at the factory mistake
