Timing Belt and What Else?

New member
I'm going to do a pretty extensive maintenance run on my rig. It's a 2001 with 105k on it. So far, this is the general list:

-Timing belt
-Drive belts
-T-stat
-Water pump
-All fluids
-Spark plugs (might as well do wires too?)

Any other things you guys would suggest while I'm at it?

Upgrade to DOT4 brake fluid.
PCV grommet.
MAF cleaning.
Air filter.
...valve adjustment? But now you'll be getting much more involved.
"big 3 upgrade".
Adjust/tighten the throttle cable.
Seafoam.
Dry-gas.
LBJs.
Check tie rod ends.
Grease the driveline.
Lube the sunroof tracks.
Check CV boots.
Check/torque lug nuts.
DRIVE IT!! :)
 
Get those oil cooler hoses while the front of the engine is a bit cleared out. They're not easy then, but they're a lot easier than later on.
 
Thanks guys. Appreciate all the suggestions. The list is growing fast. Now, the only question is, will I be able to get it done in under a week? :cowboy:

I know that I couldn't do it all in under a week. Let me know if you can use a hand. I'm free a couple nights this week.
 
What is your budget?

Crank seal, and cams as well. New crank bolt.

Doing this yourself?

The plan is to do it myself, but it could very well end with it being towed to a shop and finished. And I obviously don't have endless funds, but enough to do a few extra things while I'm at it.

Never thought I would see they day your truck crossed over 100k. I feel old now.

And I never thought I'd see the day you'd sell yours.

If I bought one, would you guys allow me in your club?

HID Lights
Tranny cooler
Big 3 wiring upgrade
Head's and cam
Supercharger



J/K (maybe)

Would be nice! Who knows what the future has in store...
 
Not hard to do, just time consuming. Considering it took me 7 hours, I could probably do it in 3 now.

I would just buy a kit like this one:
Genuine Toyota V6 3 4L Complete Timing Belt Kit Withthermostat | eBay

I would also add a new crank bolt as well as at least the crank seal (not hard with the right tool). Cam seals can be a pain without air tools or battery impacts.

New drive belts also. Have the drive belts ever been changed out before?

I guess Hepar I am just trying to gauge your mechanical aptitude.
 
While your at it, I'd install a flux capacitor and a fusion generator.

Has anyone had bad luck with ebay TB kits. I tried ordering a few oem Nissan parts and they all turned out to be cheap imposters.
 
By the time you get done replacing everything in this thread you might as well just drop a new motor in. Probably be easier than replacing everything.

There's a couple sellers who are known for selling all OEM replacements. Probably going to go with the big kit that includes the plugs and wires.
