Hey man… I’m a 21 year Toyota tech… I’ve done 4 of these engines so far. And I have taken out the engine WITH the harness. Toyota actually designs its engines to be removed with main harness. I also do not evacuate the Freon. I leave the compressor in truck. Every second spared adds up. Great work though. Keep it up. 👍🏼.
@@armani2326 hell ya to you, Great stuff, I think I’m 14 years at least, really, I have another one to do after this, And I will try to figure out the compressor trick, That’s how I usually do it, haven’t tryed it on this, But now I know you can hell ya , take care bro thanks ALOT for that comment
@ also once you have the truck in air put a jack stand on the transmission. The drop the cross member. Slowly lower the transmission and then you’ll be able to access the top of transmission to remove the harness that sits on top. Once you get that off you also see the top of tranny bolts to engine. Long extension and makes that cake. Once that’s done. Reinstall the cross member and continue with engine removal. Good luck 👍🏼
@ It’s all about helping each other out, Some people keep there knowledge real secrets , I just want to show people and help people, your the same thank you
Dude, you're a beast! idk how you do it all but God bless. sucks for me being a tacoma owner and potentially having to deal with this b.s. cracked valve issue but hopefully all technicians can get at this major problem & job. bless up! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
@@WaltNasty also makes the top bell housing bolts easier to get to, you just have to have a guy watching the harness so it doesn’t get snagged. Makes life a whole lot easier switching the harness over out of the truck.
@@ScottBacon-sr7mkI just got so used to doing all Toyota trucks this way, my mind just attacks it this way, How are you liking this recall? lol I hope your dealer takes care of you guys doing it, even when we make it look easy, It’s Not.
I’ll try to get better footage so it is entertaining, Focus is really to show anyone they can do it, if they want to watch and learn, I’ll show you, Plan is to show everyone
I’m good with flat rate. Especially with the warranty time bull shat. I’m a mechanic of 22 years now. Always at an independent. Work on everything but a lot of euros. 5 weeks paid vacation, 40 hours sick time and time & half after 40hrs. Back in 2019 i went for an interview at Toyota. They said after receiving master Toyota tech. Maxed out at $34-36 can’t remember. That’s a joke. I spoke to their shop foreman with the service manager and got the job that day. That’s when I asked about the pay. Told them I’m all set.
Love the videos. I’ve got an early ‘22 waiting on engine. Dealership saying they don’t know when the new motor will arrive. Well over a month waiting, does it really take that long for the motor to get to the dealership?
I’m on my 3rd doing cab off, how long is this way taking you, I get cab off done in about 9hours and I think I’ll have it down to 8 by my next one. Just wanted to compare times, by done I mean whole job done
I was going to buy a new Tundra in 2023 and went with a 2023 Tacoma instead because of price but still would like to get a new Tundra, do you think Toyota is being honest about shavings left in the block? or could it be something else?
I’ve heard there were part number changes, but yes the main issue is incorrect manufacturing. This was during the pandemic and questionable hiring practices. I’d wait a couple years before buying any new car. There are still a few Tundras with failing engines but well within a normal rate of failure.
The only other one we’re the 2AZ-FE piston rings they paid 16 hrs to install new piston rings, So you see why Toyota only paying 13 for a swap, I Never seen Toyota do a full replacement motor like the Tundra,
But to answer your question, even if I lose on every tundra I do, I’ve Master the art of flat rate To were it don’t feel real anymore, of course you will have bad days, That’s just a bad day or days, The end of the year Always a homerun,
@ Knock wood, my 19 Tacoma at 116,000 miles has been rock solid so far. Of course what is in your shop is a minuscule percentage of the Toyota’s out there.
If thats all warranty i truly feel bad for you. Tundra engine replacement recall is only 13 hrs. Dont work there lol, youre letting them take advantage of you bro.

You keep it neat and organized, a sign of a good technician. It looks like your a one man show and no one else works there.
Keep on keeping on dude, clean, organized. Well done. 👍🏼

Can’t wait to see the future videos man you are doing a good job replacing the engines and rebuild them as well 👍
Definitely earned my respect young man, props brother 👏 🙌 💯

@ wouldn’t be so bad if it payed more than 13.6. We have 5 guys rotating doing them. We’re a pretty busy shop, destroys the flow tbh
Walt enjoy your video you are so organized and very entertaining

Really have your hands full, but you got it!
This is job security.

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing.
you run this shop bro. good shit
Hell ya bro thank you, That’s why I started recording, I can’t keep up with my self, I don’t know what I’m doing lol footage will get better with time

Your beating me, keep doing what your doing, Your doing great, I have not been able to get it done in one day start to finish
@ we’ll see how it shakes out as time goes on
have you done any 24's?
👍👍👍
How are new engines sounding? You think they are gonna be good?
Blueprint paint its blue in sun purple in shade
You smell that?It's the smell of technician burnout. Stay healthy
Trust me, I’m the hope for my team and this is far from easy, I just listen to my music and stay in the Zone,
Sounds like that dealership needs to hire more engine guys. How much time does it take you to pull out the Tundra motor?
I think I got it down to about 5-6 hrs out still haven’t master the routine , I’ll get there
I was going to buy a new Tundra in 2023 and went with a 2023 Tacoma instead because of price but still would like to get a new Tundra, do you think Toyota is being honest about shavings left in the block? or could it be something else?

Do you work at a dealership? Lmk
I do
@WaltNasty where's that at?
@@JeremyAnthony-w2rI don’t think I can tell, so many Easter eggs if you pay attention you will figure it out for sure lol
So Toyota quality = GM quality ??
Wow, Toyota should of just bought your Truck back.
Were you able to complete the recall swap in the 13 hrs That Toyota would only allow?
I have not at the moment, I will eventually
@WaltNasty What were your total hours before on other recall swap projects and did you do them on your own.

Disheartening seeing all these Toyota’s with bad engines.
I hear you, but that’s what I’m for, to make them perfect and put customer mind at peace knowing it got done right
@ Knock wood, my 19 Tacoma at 116,000 miles has been rock solid so far.
Of course what is in your shop is a minuscule percentage of the Toyota’s out there.
What's wrong with the 4Runner??
Cam towers complete engine reseal I’ll have the full timelaps finished and up tonight
@WaltNasty Oh. That's the one you've had for a few weeks right? Mileage?
@@kimbuck-2 lol no I got it few days ago
@@WaltNasty Oh dang. Should I be worried now about my 2022 with 20,400 miles? Are these not solid vehicles?
@@kimbuck-2I have a 22 a 23 and a 24 ALL 4RUNNER TRD PRO-solid why I have 3 idk SMH

Wtf that’s a lot of heavy line!! You’re making your money right!!! If not I would say no reschedule.
Been making a killing my brother, I’m literally playing with them, lol
@ make over 100k after taxes that’s what it’s worth
We have a guy that makes 250k gross. MDT status
@ I believe it, I’ll show the day when we have that many subscribers on this channel to match YTD lol that will never happen,
🫡
WOW, now the new Toyota's are a POS too!
🤮
How many hours total for engine replacement
