My first truck was an 84 Xtra cab SR5 2WD with the 22RE & Auto. I got roughly 2800 to 4500 Miles PER ENGINE. Yes that is all I got out of any of the 6 engines I put in the truck. Yes I know there is a design flaw in the first couple year 22RE heads that makes them prone to cracking when overheated slightly and replacing the whole engine is cheaper than just the head. SO First Question is How many people have 84/85's with the 22RE (NOT 22R) that are still original and how many miles do you have on them?
Second truck was an 85 Xtra Cab SR5 4WD 22R and 5 speed. This trucks motor ran pretty damn good and not once did I ever have a problem with it, HOWEVER This truck seemed to pop first gear in the tranny every 4-6K miles. I have been told that Yota was experimenting in the mid 80's with several different combinations and had 3- 5 speeds & 2 were junk. Again how many people have this setup and how many original miles? Third Vehicle is a 79 ford with 389K all original no problems??

Ford is definitely a tough one. You can go online to the particular company and ask for a list of their recalls...there may be something causing your truck to overheat and cracking your heads. On those recalls, they are recalling the vehicle to replace or repair that part.

I had a 1985 4-cyl aluminum block Toyota pickup that had over 200,000 miles on it. It ran great for 20 years until some idiot ran a light and t-boned the front end.
