correctly stated, toyota's factory recommendation is 90,000 miles. i had mine break at 176,000. no other damages. i replaced both idlers the tensioner and the water pump. "bad day" by the way is an understatement about that day. i was doing 80 in the passing lane on a 4 lane highway when it broke. the condition of the belt at 176k was extreme. cracks to the internal fibers the whole way around. the thing was smoked. and furthermore i'm surprised it hadn't broken sooner. i was actually lied to by the used car dealer that sold me my truck. he said that it was done already. i was PISSED.
