Please check your information before posting. The water pump you linked is for a 3rd gen, 3.4 5vz-fe is a completely different engine and it would not work.



4.0 1GR-FE waterpump is here:
2003-2015 Toyota Water Pump Assembly 16100-09471 | Toyota Parts

and looks like this

Cool

Yeah. That was a mistype. That looks like the spare WP I have in the garage for when the OEM in my 2005 150,000 miles m4runner finally gives out. I mistakenly said it failed at 4 years, but that was incorrect. The starters fail on my 4runner every 4 years.

The WP in my 4runner is 15 years old and pumping strong. It's the OEM.

The coolant level is always at the same height in the catch canister - month after month. I use the best coolant money can buy in my 4 runner. Good coolant needs to be changed every 5 years IMO.

CaptSolo, Are you sure you dont have a “knock off” Chinese Toyota 4runner. Your claims just dont match the forums experiences. As far as water pumps go, they are cheap and easy to replace. I dont wait to have mine fail. I replace the water pump and radiators at either 10 years or 100k miles. I dont have to, but I do it for peace of mind. Because when they fail, its never at a convenient time for me.

I am so glad I can wrench. I cant imagine what other people have to pay for service on their vehicle. I got a quote from lexus on my 14 is350 for new spark plugs, they want $650 to replace 6 plugs on a V6 which took me 25 minutes and $55 in parts. That is flipping insane.

On my new to me 07 T4r I have done both cv axles, LBJs, radiator, water pump, ac condenser, full fluid replacement, added a tranny cooler, pulley bearings, spark plugs (iridium). I plan to change 3 fuel injectors and valve cover gaskets anf intake gaskets soon. How much would all this cost at a service shop?? It boggles the mind.

I guess thats why I love buying older Toyotas. I buy it cheap and make it new again.

I your starter is failing every 4 years you should be very thankful you didn't buy a V8. Do you run some sort of delivery route where you're constantly stopping and restarting all day long? Replacing starters every 4 years seems excessive to me, especially on a Toyota product.

We live in Nassau Bahamas and the 4runner gets started more than say a car in Miami that may see the average length of a trip at 100 miles.

Example: the grocery store is 2 miles away. Wife goes there every day - sometimes twice a day.

A new AM starter from Amazon is $100, so no big deal. The Toyota dealer over here wanted $900 to order OEM one from Japan. I swear to God they told me that 10 years ago. Dealers depend on your ignorance to make money. The starter here at an APS was $250.

Amazon.com: DB Electrical SND0491 Starter Compatible With/Replacement For Toyota Tacoma & Tundra 4.0L 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 & 4Runner 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 FJ Cruiser 2007 2008 2009: Automotive

PS.. Watch out for all the idiot (cheap) posters that are not mechanics and have nothing to say, but are just unemployed nit wits that spam this forum every day. Moderator should ban them.

Below is another starter for a Toyota, but Amazon says it will NOT fit my car. The $100 starter at the link above from DB electrical does fit my car according to Amazon's website.

FFS you've infected this thread too? 200K and 16 years on my OEM starter. Just stop posting. For the love of God. Join a fishing forum where you can irritate them with your pictures from 2007 of a boat you no longer own and fish someone else caught for you. Or I can keep slaughtering your every statement in every thread until you get it through your head you don't know shit about cars. Period.

And before you start throwing insults my way I am an ASE certified tech, with 17 years experience and a degree in the field. Every single person on this forum knows more than you. The moderators should block your IP for the misinformation you spread.

I tried to offer you insight in your thread based on 13 years of documented evidence, instead of listening you immediately turned to insults. I have more automotive knowlege in my pinky than you have attained in 73 years. Others on this forum know more than I do and I am happy and grateful to learn from them. So why don't you sit the next couple of plays out there Mr self proclaimed all American. You might learn a thing or 2.

DrCoffee: To each his own. I check for drips below the engine of my 4runner all the time. Never had an overheat in 15 years. No "drips" either - exception = a once a week single drip of oil.

Toyotas are low maintenance unless you take them to the dealer.

I check the overflow canister from the radiator and if it ever down "any" I figure out why right away. The WP in there now is 15 years old - the OEM. Is that amazing, or what?

I have a aisin WP in the garage waiting for the first sign. Then I call a top mechanic (not the dealer) to the house.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I do my own spark plugs - but they are good for 100,000 miles today.
Engine oil and filters
2 gallons of coolant every 5 or 7 years and you are ready to go.
My 15 year old 4runner runs like it is new. I'm blown away.
