- In this video I put a new timing belt on this 2001 Toyota tundra with the 3.4 5VZ-FE V6. Not necessarily a howto, more for entertainment. Can’t believe it’s the original belt but no record of it being changed before and this one sure looked bad. Enjoy!

I realized I was too late with my advice, young man, I hope the best for you, the logic for you to learn is while a part may seem ok, if you have the opportunity to replace it it's best to replace it while you have the engine apart
Love these late 1990s and early 2000s vehicles including this, only bad side is they dont have cabin air filter to keep me away from sneezing
I had 1990 Toyota truck with a 3L v6 that had the same or similar fan bearing, Toyota wanted way north of $400 to replace it, and that was back in 1996, my advice to you is delete that part and go with electric fans, also DO NOT CONTINUE with the old pump, sure as shit, soon after you put it back together, it will start leaking, then you have to do most of the job over again
I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did but I was in a rush
Got the original chain on my wrangler with 437k miles
Chains always outlast belts because they're made of *metal* lol
where did you buy your kit from?
eBay
I’d go ahead and throw a water pump in it while it’s apart
I would have but I wasn’t equipped to have to potentially clean off old gasket material and the one I had didn’t seem like it would work since it had that oil cooler line that mine doesn’t have. If it gives me trouble I’ll make it work
@@guygaric940 I have an 03 Tacoma with this engine. Getting ready to do this same thing
@@freedomisntfree_44 It was easy, would have been even easier if I had my good tools here instead of at work lol
