This is, by far, the best 3.4L water pump/timing belt tutorial on TH-cam. Thank you guys so much.
No problem
I would not agree. Many little steps were skipped.
True that ... chain wrench ... duh! Thnx
One of the best timing belt replacement videos I've seen. It took me a couple of hours to get the job done but your video made it easy. One thing to note, if you buy a really cheap timing belt it may not have the timing marks on it. Always mark the old belt to the marks before removing it. You have the ability to count teeth or at the very least lay your new one on top of your old marked one should your new belt not have all three marks. Or just pay the extra 10 bucks for a good brand name belt.
COUNCIDO COMPLETAMENTE, PERO SI PUEDO AGREGAR ALGO SERIA CAMBIAR LOS RETENEDORES DE CIGUEÑAL Y DE LOS ARBOLES DE LEVA..
That sneaky wobble through the compressor gap saved me some time. Thanks!
Yes the BEST VIDEO ON YHE TUBE !
Toyota just quoted $1800. I’m doing this myself now , a million thank you guys a giant help !🙏🙏🙏🙏
This Vid was a life saver....
And an example of why "TH-cam"
is so Valuable.
Thanks guys.💯👍👍
Very impressive. The most well described instructions on this procedure. Great tips and really appreciate the details. Thanks!
Excellent. The whole shebang in under 20min, without glossing over any steps.
Getting ready to do this tomorrow morning, I have a good mechanical knowledge but never rely on that alone given there is plenty of useful information and videos like this to guide you and take the guessing out of it specially with critical parts of the installation.
Thank you 🙏
Good stuff, no problem 👍
You guys did a great job explaining step by step, the best that I have see 👍🏾. My only suggestion will be that I will remove the radiator just in case to prevent damage. You been a master Mecanic can do it but us been weekends warriors will damage it. Great
That was well done. Thanks
You mention little things that some people know and some dont. Like twisting the radiator hose. Keeping your items in order. All things I usually remember the hard way
No glitz, or distracting music just the job at hand. Helpful bolt sizes and access tool trick, clear good practice reassembly. Torque values, correct nomenclature and check recheck procedure. Nicely done Gentlemen!
Noticed the color on the fan clutch - Orange vs Green heavy duty?
Perfectly made video with all nescessary information, clearly presented ( you are an excellent mechanic and also a talented videographer ). Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the rest oí us ! From Puerto, Rico, your ftiend Edwin Oliveras
Thank you sir, much appreciated 👌
Best instructional vehicle repair on youtube. From audio to video awesome job guys....will look into subscribing soon.
Much appreciated 🤙
You guys rock. I successfully replaced everything with no issues, except getting the alternator properly tightened after everything was back together. Got that fixed too.
Good stuff👍
FANTASTIC JOB!! I now feel comfortable doing the job.
Great video thanks for posting. I just got a 2002 Tacoma and I think it will ha a good experience changing the belt. I used to replace the chains on the older fords and Chevy and they weren’t to bad of a job.
Great video. By following the tutorial in this video I was able to change the timing belt on my 2004 3.4L Tacoma. I don't think I would have tried it had I not watched this video. Thanks.
You’re welcome, glad it was helpful
@@ZHPGarage It's running like a new truck. Doing yourself has some distinct advantages I've discovered.. You can control the quality of the parts and workmanship plus save a lot of money. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU.....Just what I needed for this weekend project 2000 3.4 lit Tacoma water pump & timing belt replacement.
Great job! You guys made it look super easy. I'm having mine replaced this week and it was interesting to see and know what they'll be doing to my 2004 Toyota Tacoma with 234,000 miles on it. Best tutorial I think I've ever seen.
About to knock this job out. Thanks for the clear and simple explanations.
So I had originally found a tutorial on this service but didn’t save it. I found this one and it is great. This is the one I’ll use to get my timing belt and water pump done.
Good job guys! Made my job very clear and efficient. Thank you for the content
By far the best mechanic tutorial video I’ve watched!
Just done my 99, thanks for the video, it was extremely helpful.
Thanks for making such a detailed video. Excellent camera shots, very well narrated with important tips ( washer behind idler pulley ). Yes, I’m now a subscriber.
Thank you, we appreciate it👍
He's a very good mechanic. This is a great video clip on changing the Timing Belt. Thanks guys.
In the middle of doing it now.. thanks for walking me through it guys
Great presentation of camera work and explanation. My 2000 prerunner has 220k miles which needs 3rd replacement in the near future. Thank you.
Extraordinary, good job done...thanks for helping others through this video
This is the best Video on water pump timing belt change that I have watched very informative. Thanks for being thorough.
Talented guy and I’m not a mechanic. Very grateful for the video, it made the process possible for me. That said, for idiots, it would have been useful information to know the timing tensioner needed to be new or rig to compress pin enabling reuse lol. Ran right into that and didn’t know what I did wrong that belt would not fit on. Thank you again for taking the time to make the video available. Sincerely
Your professional bro I like the way you did its loud and clear..thanks.
very well done, good lighting and camera angles. very good instructions here. thanks
Thank you, glad it helped👍
Very friendly tutorial, detailing every step. Thank you.
Very well done video. I was able to complete this job myself thanks to this. Thank you so much!
Wow! I wish all mechanics are detail as you. You really taking good care of what you do and doing it right. I wish you can work on my Tacoma. Subscribed!!!
Excellent job, boys!!
Good job fast and professional.
Not a total mechanical dummy but far from a mechanic. Just got my first 1st gen Tacoma. This video gave me confidence that I could do this on my own. 👍🏻 great vid boys🌮❤
You guys are great. Very clear concise information. Thanks
Well done! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Great job fellas !!
Good job gives me the confidence to tackle this job THANKS !
Very good video. It really helped with the replacement job.
Great video!
Thanks, Great job.... good info you make it look simple...
Great video, nice detail.
You did an awesome job!!!
You guys really helped me alot with my 01 Tacoma. You really saved me time with lots of little added details such as:
-Using a wobbly & squeezing between to eliminate compressor hassle
-Giving torque specs
-Hardware sizing
Great job, thank you. My only question now that it's all together and running is, I installed my new Thermostat with the jiggle valve in the up or 12 o'clock position. However after having a couple people tell me I had installed it upside down, and that it's supposed to be jiggle valve down. I started looking into it, and had a local Toyota tech tell me the same. He said it probably doesn't matter much, but in the manual it was in the downward position. I also found another guy on TH-cam measuring his temp digitally with t-stat in both position to compare temperature. His results consistently showed a 10° difference with it running cooler in the downward position. Can you please help me understand this? Thanks again.
Did you ever find an answer to this?
Great vid.........brief and to the point. Thank you.
No problem
This was very well done, Thank you very much.
I’ve done this job a couple of times on my 02 Tacoma but still, I learned better technique from your video. Excellent work!
so incredibly helpful !
Made it LOOK easy. Thanks
Such a great video with lot of details.
Thank you!
This video was perfect, i have a leaking thermostat housing (atleast from that general area) which i had no idea it was that difficult to access so doing the timing since im in there is perfect
Great vid! I may just tackle this job myself.
One note, Toyota FSM shows the jiggle valve on the Toyota thermostat at 6 o'clock position not at 12 o'clock as shown t=19:38. This is also confirmed via multiple other videos and on toyota forums. Not intuitive, you would think it would go on the top. Sure enough, when I pulled mine off from the factory installation it was on the bottom. Multiple posters swear that having the jiggle value on the bottom vs the top the operating temp will drop 10 to 20 degrees F.
Very helpful video. Especially calling out the torque specs.
Glad you liked it and found it helpful
A bit of advice....
Before installing the new belt...check and count the number of teeth.
I did an Audi years ago..and the parts house gave me the wrong belt.
Trust but verify...it will save you lots of time and perhaps damage installing the wrong timing belt.
This is the best video i've seen i'm still going have someone change ot for me
Vary detailed!! Thanks
Well Done guys, Thanks for the help
i just ordered my timing belt and pullys you guys where helpful thank you
Yeah no problem 👍
Good job!!!
great detailed video. thank you
Awesome video guys. Confident I can bang this one out. Instead of the chain wrench I have a tool the guy gave me I bought the truck off of think it hold the pully in place
Nice Video, thanks.
Thanks for the video. 01 with 270000 mile ready for another 270000
That first gen looks so clean!
It was very clean for sure!
Very good. Thanks!
thanks for share the video great job well done.
That dude is a machine... He just made this very challenging job that Toyota charges around $5-600 in labor, look like a slightly more complicated drive belt replacement...
Thats a master mechanic for you
@@robertjebediahfreeman I’m a certified you tube mechanic... This job took me 2 1/2 days approximately 30 labor hours... In fairness I did do a few extra things like the oil seals and resealing all 3 timing covers but still lol...
@@vonzipper2712 Thats awesome I wish I had the talent to do all this
Buen video muchachos 👏👏👏
Tanks you guys I like that information!
Wow very impressed! Very detailed! One of the best timing belt tutorial on youtube! I paid someone $800 to do mine. I provided all oem parts. So about $1200-$1300 total!
Wow that sounds like a lot I was thinking that you could get the kit for around a hundred I just finished all of the brakes on my Tacoma and only spent two hundred. The shop wanted five hundred.
Very helpful thanks!!
Awesome,
thanks!
Excellent
Outstanding
Great video, so there's no need to replace the crank seal or do a oil pump reseal?
Great video helped me alot. Couple questions though on my 95.5. I didn't have a washer on the 10 mil tension pulley is this a special size washer? I couldn't time it before I took off the belt as it was proper fucked is there a spot on the gear for top dead center? Also how important are the duel prong spark plug just put in a new set of single
Very helpful
I'm curious , I always use just a little blue silicone on the water pump and thermo housing gasket for a little added protection. Will it hurt to use some on this application? Thanks
Awesome 👏
Whenever you're tightening that main pulley back down to 215 ft lbs is it imperative to not let it move or is it okay if it moves just a little bit since everything is still lined up?
After new timing belt and tensioner are on engine can be rotated.
This is a great video!! Thank you. I have an ‘06 Tacoma that needs the gaskets replaced in the timing belt cover. I was told the engine needs to be removed to fix it. Does that seem accurate?
excellent job thanks👍
Got the belt tensioner bolt, Thank You, I came from underneath. Also where Rad. hoses attach on to the alloy metal or pot metal, there's always that white caked on powder, Do you know, or is there, anything that can be put on to stop that corrosion?? Thanks again!
On point 👍🏽
Do you find it easier to leave the radiator in or taking the radiator out while doing this job? Did you reuse your chain wrench to hold the crank while you torque to 217lb?
Good video.. I have watched a few of these videos and watched people struggle with getting the belt over the crank gear and I was wondering if maybe it would be better to put belt on then put top idler on LAST. And right here in this video, there it is. Nice job. However, every other video i watched says to orient the thermostat toggle valve at 6:00. (according to FSM)
I had wondered about this as well, so watched to see where the jiggle valve was located from first timing belt job done by the dealer. 12 o'clock position, and I never had any hi-temp issues. So that's where the new one went! 2000 tacoma V6 5vz-fe engine.
Made it look easy
Awesome video! thanks for the help... quick question: i used a Dayco timing belt replacement kit. The belt seems a lot tighter than the video when trying to put on the last idler pulley? also, the Dayco belt does not say left or right Cam, but the distance is correct with the old belt and we are off one tooth, does that make a difference on the timing in general? Thank you for any information regarding this.
Thank you for the help.
Other problems is the ac bracket on my way to remove old belt tensioner.
Im using swivel short end 12 mm but still can’t fit the head of bolt. It’s kind of twisted not straight..
You mensioned the word “tricky “ really it is ! Guys.
I thought top dead center was wrong on the timing till i watch your video. My scan tool show the timing is top dead center. Thanks for clearing that up.
Solid jod man
What is the torque for the fan bracket bolt/nuts? I didn't see it mentioned. Great video!
Great video! How long did the process take in real time?
Awesome
Best one I've watched! Quick, to the point, and all in one video in just under 20 minutes. Nice! One question tho, I've seen some say the thermostat valve should be down, and others, like you say that it should go up. Any thoughts on that?
Thank you. My thoughts are air rises, so by putting the valve to the top it allows air to escape through the valve.
The tbelt/water pump kits being packed now are coming with cam and crank seals. Any special tools you recommend for the r&r on those?
