Love how your nuts & bolts come off so easy.
I have been search for videos on this Toyota 5VZ (3.4L V6) engines and this is so far the best video tutorial I have ever seen. Really clear and enunciating. No shaky camera or noisy background. Also I very much appreciate you taking off some parts, such as the upper radiator hose and the sensor connector, only for good quality filming. Thank you!
Are you serious, Timmy the tool man?…….
Your generation 4runner is quite literally the most reliable vehicle ever made. Sadly, here in Ohio they are almost all lost to the local salt truck. A guy that works for me has a 1997 with 386k miles, rusty patched frame (ohio salt), all original ball joints still good, perfect engine, perfect trans and nothing else wrong. Not even a check engine light.
Oh yeah, I believe it!! A lot of my family lives in the new England area, and you don't see many older cars out on the street. It's a real tragedy!!
They are, second to the Land Cruisers, the best trucks on this earth.
HA! (I know this an old vid) but I got an 97 taco 2.4....5 speed manual, has close to 400k with OEM clutch and trans! She has killed 4 deer here in GA! I've replaced 2 radiator support brackets (other 2 I just bent straight) 4 radiators, 4 AC condensers, 4 grille, bumpers, lights etc etc and she still runs! She cranks up every time so I can drive her on the trailer to bring back home! One helluva truck!!
My 1997 ‘Runner has 307K miles and runs likes a fine clock. Bought it here in GA back in 1999 with mileage @ 32K and is still generally in excellent condition with no rust whatsoever. One of the very best purchases of al time since on this green Earth. Really appreciate the tutorial. Great job!
I just bought a 2002 4Runner and I have no idea what I'm doing. Watching your videos gave me the confidence to start off with replacing the spark plugs, wires and ignition coils. I just wanted to say thank you. I think you're so awesome, and if you were local I would 1000% go to any classes you offered. I WISH I had friends to hang out with at 1am on a Saturday morning wrenching on our Yotas! lol. I really appreciate your videos, Thank you so much!!
I just worked a 16 hour shift and my PS belt snapped on the way home, your video just made my day.
Thanks for showing that the belts can actually go around the fan without removing fan. This is what I wanted to know. 👍
I just want to say thank you. We bought my wife a 1996 Toyota 4Runner to restore and your videos have came in handy. Keep doing what your doing.
Just found this channel, nice to say a rad lady doing car repairs on youtube, hope you inspire others!
I've watched a bunch of videos about doing this job, and this video is BY FAR the best. Even with using your phone to make the video. Better than the one on TacomaWorld forum. Good job.
Thank you so much!!!🙏🏻 Haha maybe Tacoma world needs this one on the forum 😅💜
Thank you for the straight forward in depth video, it covered a lot of things the other videos left out. Great job! I was able to get this done on my rusty '01 Tacoma with my cheap costco tool kit no problem!
I needed a refresher and I couldn’t find any videos with great footage with step-by-step R&R on other channels. Stumbled upon this video and I’m so thankful for your close detail and walk throughs. Just subscribed 👍🏼
Thanks for the information. I was reading about the guy from Ohio who spoke of our state losing many of these to rust. I agree. I picked up a 3rd gen 4runner that needed mostly brake and suspension work with hardly any rust. I didn't have to pay a premium and it was my oldest son's first vehicle. He loves it. The next video on the list will be the timing belt change. I appreciate your efforts in making the videos easy and fun to watch. I myself just picked up a 2005 Sequoia and apart from the usual issues I am very pleased with it, as with all my Toyotas. I look forward to catching more of you.
Just finished all the belts on my 04’ Taco thanks for the video!!!
Thank you so much for the video. I did all three today and it wasn’t bad. Really made it easy to see what things look like and I appreciate that. Great camera angles. My check engine light went out after replacing the belts.
Hey Faye. I know that this video was done a while ago. But I was working on my sisters Toyota 4 Runner and didn't know how to take them off. Thanks for doing this video. It helped SO much. Thanks again.
I just want to say thank you for this video. This was the only video I found that covered all 3 belts in one video for this engine. Your video was very easy to follow, the best was you really remind me of my daughter who is also a shade tree mechanic (like her dad). Thanks again!.
Thx Faye, very good job on this video! I like the way you remove a few extra parts for filming clarity and let everyone know that's why for ease of repair. Excellent!!!
I have a jeep and work on it all the time. This was the first time working on a Toyota and you saved me so much time. You have a new subscriber!!!
Welcome!! Thank you so much!
You have a talent for making this job look really easy and stress-free!
I get a kick out of the high speed sections when your still talking it cracks me up. Love the videos and I don't even own a Toyota ;-)
Aww thank you!!!! 😀 But... You own a VW, and so do I... And a couple very engines, so maybe eventually I'll make some videos that apply to you!!!! .....maybe!!!
Great video exactly what I needed to do my 03 Prerunner, Have a great day.
Glad I found your channel
I also need to do the drive belts and spark plugs on my 01 t4r.
Keep up the good work!
I just spent the arvo doing this so i could come home so thank you.
Had to remove the power steering belt on my Tundra, this video was perfect.
I like the sound of your voice, it helps reduce the stress of learning something you’ve never done before.
Great attitude! Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for your video and the delightful way you present them
My pleasure!!
getting ready to replace my belts this weekend...glad i watched ur video...the first one i checked out showed also disconnecting the fan and you made it look super easy to slip those around and out....
04 taco
you're the best faye. Just what I was looking for to fix my toyota prado belts!
Faye you are the best. Informative and entertaining. Who ever thought mechanics could be smart, skilled and pretty to boot!
I REALLY APPRECIATE all of your VIDEOS but nothing like a 4runner
Thank you Faye for helping me do this.. toyota newbie (99 tacoma) and this made the job simple..
thank you so much faye, im about to finish my t100 engine rebuild so this helps so much 🔥
Thank you so much for this video. Everything was explained perfectly and it made the job easy!
Nice to seeing a lady work on a car. Thank you this was very helpful!
Thanks a ton Faye! This project was so easy because of this video. You're the best!
Best video I've come across for this repair - thank you for making this video!
Idk why I check other videos first. Everytime I come to your videos shit gets 1000x simpler
Awww, thank you!!
Great video! That power steering adjustment bolt was trouble to get to.. I had to come from the bottom and thought I got my hand stuck a few times... whew! Thanks, couldn’t have done it without your help.
Thank you for the video. Just completed daughter’s 2000 SR5. One thing I did was unscrew airbox and left up and back. Otherwise could not get good attack vector on steering pump tensioner screw.
Understood! I have these scrawny little stick arms that make accessing most things pretty easy :)
Well done faye! Editing doin awesome!
Thanks, Brandon!!
That was terrific. The best one yet. I had a bad idler pulley and put a new belt on and bingo ......fried! It seized and I could smell the burnt belt. Tensioning has been tricky though? I love the auto tensioners and it's been one of the first vehicles i've had without it.
Super helpful video! Thanks again Faye!
thanks faye, helped me out heaps. cheers from Australia
Thank you so much Faye, your video is best of all, very clear.. I look no further, my 2003 (3.4L V6 engine @125K) belts start getting noise, I will try to replace them. I also need to see your vid of how to check the tension of these belts after. Thanks
You're smart Faye, you make it easy to understand.Thanks, you're a G.
Great video. When I did mine, the AC tension bolt snapped off (living in the rust belt) and I had to put it back together temporarily without that belt. No big issue as I didn't need AC in the fall, but what a task trying to find JUST the tensioner flange piece- Toyota would only sell the entire assembly, and scrapyards in the rust belt aren't much help for parts like that. I eventually did find a Toyota dealer who would sell just the flange but it cost over $50 with shipping. I think there's a market opportunity for someone in the southern areas to strip wrecks at scrapyards for parts like these.
You really enjoy what you do congratulations 😊
You and Chicken make it seem like a relaxin good time not like the Murphy’s law scenario nightmare I always encounter when doing auto maintenance. Thank you
Haha no problem 😂
Wow you made this so easy and covered every step thank
Thanks for the vid. Really males it simpler to see what you are about to do.
It's about dam time I found the video again besides some of the for play your video is definitely the best.
Great Vid. Worked exactly as you explained on your video. 1998 Toyota Tacoma Limited.
The camera's not shaking, the lighting is perfect, you are very detailed with the explanations and there are chickens! Great video! I've watched a few other vids on changing belts on Tacoma's but this one is the clearest. Hope you have one on changing the timing belt/water pump.
EDIT: You do, nice!
So glad you enjoyed it!!!👍🏻
I remember doing this job for the first time. Thought i had to do a lot more than required. Now I can bang this job out in 30 minutes.
Hey Faye just saw you on the news! Glad to see that you and you’re business are becoming successful! Fellow San Antonian here myself/tech @ Toyota dealership. Keep up the hard work!
YAY!!! I am so glad. And hi fellow Toyota tech! :)
I will definitely be watching the timing belt video soon. Thanks
Great video!! Super helpful!!
Thankyou for posting this. Got me out of a bind.
Great video!!!! Nice and clear
The audio is very spatial on this video. Really feel like I’m right there. Nice.
Thank you Faye and Chicken , you helped Me find the tensioners I needed to find to replace the Alternator and it's belt 👍
Glad we could help!!😀
I wonder how many people watch your videos and save a ton of money with things that they can do their self
LORD! I am In-Love! With that Chicken! He stole the show! lol More of the Chicken Please! Great Videos and you have saved me a Ton of money by teaching me how to work on my 'Yota 4!
Keep wrenching Faye! 🇨🇦👍🏻
Thank you. Awesome. Now I can get started. Glad I found you. One dread to another.
great video. couple things i ran into: the tensioner on the power steering bracket is a bear to get to. Under neath was best. Don,t go at it with out a ratcheting wrench!! Same thing with the stuck tensioner on the AC idler pulley. Once you loosen the nut on the front and make some room by backing out the tensioner nut, you have to tap it up a couple inches to get the belt on. Tensioner was stuck on mine too.
The old truck has AC again. Woohoooo!! Thanks
You're awesome! Thank you so much for this amazing comprehensive video!
Very helpful video. My alternator belt snapped recently after being new last year. Hopefully it was defective. And not something I did. Time will tell.
You still have such nice hands for being a mechanic
Thanks so much.
This was very helpful, and fun🐓!
This helped me a lot. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, my english is a little but you explain good and this is easy for me, thanks a lot
Thank you for the video I’m working on car right now To replace all the belts
Love your video's 😘😘😘
Thank you very much. Definitely needed this video.
🤘😀🤘🇦🇺
Thank you Faye for the informative and entertaining video! It made a job I wasn’t looking forward to doing alot better! I live in Ohio (salt city)😢 but thanks to your clear video work I can see many parts better. 😊 tell chicken hi! Thanks again
Needed a reminder followed this, all except for my supercharger belt 😎 😎
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you for showing the trick to loose the AC belt. I had the same issue with the gear not moving up.
Do you know what the replacement part number is? Or what that is called, I work at a parts store and I cannot find it
Who had the best hair? Faye or her chicken? Who makes the cutest noises? Faye or her chicken? Who makes the best videos? Faye!
OH MY GOSH!!! HAHAHA I don't know if I will ever be on the same level as Daisy when it comes to hairdos!! Thank you so much, I am so glad you're here :)
Hello Fay My power steering Pulley tension or Also seized How did the dormen part 917-148 work for you It says it does not fit our vehicle
Your video was very helpful.
Excellent video
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for this video. Miss Thing...
I appreciate this video. Thanks so much you saved me a couple hundred dollars.
Great Video 👌🏼 thanks 😊
Thank you. This really helped!!!
Good old cars where you can get to things without needing an engineering degree and a magic wand
These belts are ass and knucklebusters to work on. This engineering is made for small engine bays.
Don't make it sound pretty lol.
Great Video, Thanks!
new subscriber here!! thanks for the video I just bought a tacoma with real bad serpentine belts
Nice work, just stumbled on ur channel. Gotta do my timing belt on the 3.4 too. Looks like you got urs done. Shooting videos of working on cars definitely can test ur patience. Nice job 😁✌
Thank you so much. Really helped me out.
I found I was able to access the water pump belt tensioner from the passenger wheel well and a 9’’ Extension although a 12’’ Would have ideal.
Thank you for the video
Totally helped me!! Thanks!! Hi chicken!!
Great video thank you, need to do alternator brushes on my Prado 5VZ
I’ve now seen a shop dog, shop cat, shop goat/lamb,shop iguana and now a shop chicken! LoL sooo cool!!
You make everyone else look like idiots Faye! Thank you for being so clear, detailed and complete about the steps to accomplish this deceptively difficult task. I just failed at my first attempt to remove the power steering belt because the other DIY vids suck. I also didn't think I could get to the hex head for the tensioner screw because of the hard aluminum A/C line in front of it (ARGH) but you make it seem easy! Feeling very fortunate that I found YOUR video because now, I feel confident that I can accomplish the task. Thanks again, you ROCK Faye! BTW, love the chickens.
EDIT: Just a safety point. Remember to remove ALL jewelry when working on your vehicle. I've seen what happens to body parts when something like a ring or watch gets caught by the wrong thing and wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. My 2-cents...
keep it up. with love from Pakistan
What a nice soul. Good video thanks
Great video, you are awesome!
FAYE YOU ARE THE BEST, THANKS SO MUCH SEÑORITA.
You are so welcome!!!!!
