I didn't know much about the gmb stuff. The oems seemed in good shape and probably could've left them. The gmb seemed well made. It doesn't get driven so I'm sure it's ok.

I have heard mixed opinions on that. I've never had any prior experience with gmb stuff. Seemed well made. The stockers were still smooth, could have left em in haha. We'll it's not driven much so I'm sure it's gonna be ok.

A mechanic I know said if I brought him the parts he'd do it for $200. I had no manual. I'm just a good self taught shade tree. I did a head and timing belt job on a Honda b20 so I felt I could do this.

Yup. I messed up and order it without the hydraulic tensioner and had to email them to get one sent out. It was $45 and a genuine toyota part. They have some for $65 and have the belt, water pump, bearings and gaskets. If you have replaced the tensioner once you don't need to do it each...

It was really straight forward. I could've reused all the bearings and even the hydraulic tensioner was still good. But I ordered a kit off eBay for around $140 that had a new belt, gmb bearings, cam seals (didn't go that far) valve cover gaskets (need to be changed but I don't feel like...

I have a 2000 SR5 3.4 with 246,000 on it and the timing belt has never been changed. I did water pump, idler, roller bearing and hydraulic tensioner as well . Only problem I had was I was a few teeth off on the left cam. And since I pulled the pin out of the tensioner I had to take the...

Agreed. I only popped it into neutral and killed it since that seemed the best way to stop a car with a stuck accelerator. Remember the Firestone tire blowouts that were killing people due to roll overs? I've had 4 blowouts in my life. Never flipped a car because of it. It was bad driving and...

Valid thought but how were people dying in prius's when their pedals stuck?

2000. But to the thought that my brakes are bad, no. They're all new as of this summer. I wasn't going to attempt to try and stop the truck while the engine is spinning at 6k rpm I made a snap decision to bump it to N and kill the engine. I had about 2 seconds to decide what to do. I had...

Floor mats seem ok. It is a cable. Tried to make it stick when I got home. Couldn't get it to

So I'm driving my green SR5 with my 5 yr old in tow when the following happened. I passed a car in front of me on the interstate doing 50-55 and when I floored it the truck responded. Downshift from 4th to 2nd but the gas pedal stuck to the floor! !! I hit the brakes at first thinking it was...

Was it in car craft? I read a similar article. I own 2 HF wrenches. One 1/2" the other a 3/8" love them both

I am capable, just wasn't sure of the tools I needed. What do you guys use to hold crank pulley still?

That's good to know. I was already going to buy a kit. He's doing the job for $300. I supply all parts/coolant/sealant etc. I don't have the special service tools.

Ok thanks. I knew there was a way to tell. He strongly recommend the gates belt. Well, these "kits" have pretty decent parts most of which are supplying the oem manufacturers. The belts are like mitsuboshi NOT Mitsubishi. Pretty sure they're fine
