[QUOTE="zig80toy, post: 827530, member: 16189"] I second what NotMatt said. Sounds like the timing chain. Fix that and the motor should be good to go for a long time. This is my personal opinion, but i would not do a v6 motor swap unless your son has a lot more money to spend. The 22RE is a great little power plant. It makes close to the same power as the 3.0L V6 toyota motor but gets better gas mileage and is more reliable. As far as tires go: I realize your son (as with most 18year olds) probably wants the biggest tires he can fit on there. Jut make it clear to him that his truck is going to feel WAY more sluggish. The 22RE is not the most powerful engine and with stock diff gears, 33" tires are going to make it feel underpowered. After he puts bigger tires on i can almost guarantee that he is going to be coming to you asking how he can upgrade the motor for more power. Again, this is just my opinion, but maybe no lift and some knobby 31" tires would be best. [/QUOTE]
