It is recommended on the 2001 Tundra to change the timing belt at 75k miles and not to extend beyond 100k miles. I am interested in why the water pump and the timing belt are in one kit.

I changed my timing at 125k miles and it looked good still. It probably depends on oil changes and if you use synthetic oils or not. As far as knowing when the manufacturer recommends changing these items, I couldn't tell you. When I did change the timing belt, the water pump was leaking although the truck never leaked fluids on the ground. There was red gunk coming out from behind the belt pulley and was all over the engine block. The water pump is basically in the middle of the engine so I would replace it while you have the front on the engine out. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I can't speak to when you can expect the water pump to fail, it may very well be around 100k miles. But, the water pump is ran off the timing belt. So it just makes sense to change the pump while you have your engine tore down to the point where it could easily be changed.

water pump and timing belt very much last the same . if you change ur timing belt at 80k miles but not water so the 2nd time around 160k miles and I don't think the water will last that long ...and you know if just change water pump self labor cost will be the same what you pay for timing belt .so better do all the same time and only cost little more for part or you have to pay double labor. hopefully this is held .for ur question.

Yes the water pump is a good idea to replace along with the other components and most likely it will be leaking, I'm a Toyota master technician if 16 years!!! Any other questions. . ?

The recommended miles to change the timing belt on my lexus gs400 is 90k, but since most v8 Toyota/lexus use the same kit, am assuming it also applies to your Tundra. I've been told the water pump isn't considered as serviceable but since they tend to leak as they age, it'd be wise to also replace it since you're already in there. Hope this helps.

It is common practice to replace the water pump at the same time because it is driven off of the timing belt. If the water pump were to fail in the interim between timing belts it would cost you as much labor as the timing belt plus, depending on the nature of the water pump failure, it could damage the timing belt and you would need to replace the belt again. It is just cost effective for the customer to replace both at the same time. If you are doing the work yourself and don't mind redoing it if the pump fails then go for it.

Yes, you're right, water pump usually fails either first (and ruins belt) or nearly same time as timing belt.That is why its well-known fact that timing belt should be changed together with water pump.Sincerely,Max

Tearing down the engine to replace the timing belt exposes good access to the water pump so the opportunity to change the water pump while replacing the belt just makes sense. The water pump won't last forever so if it fails you'll need to tear everything apart again to replace it. You don't have to but it does make sense to replace the WP at this time

Water pump I received is ALMOST the same as the original Asin. But, the original had a weep hole that extended from the shaft seal to the outside so that any leak would port to the outside of the timing belt housing. The one in this box does not have a weep hole, so a leak is going to drip down into the the belt and rollers.

This part is plastic and wears down. I replace mine about every 2-3 years. That is if I use the Snow blower during the 2-3 years. I also replace the belt and the pads at the same time.

Yes, do not mix with any other coolant and do not add water. Change interval from factory is 11 years. Just top off when needed.

Did you ever get an answer to your question? Five years is a long time to wait, but last week I replaced the belt on my Hitachi P12RA Planer/Jointer. Let me know if you want details.

I'm going to assume you're talking about how many miles you can expect to get out of this set of tires as opposed to the MPG you'll get when driving. It's always been my experience that Goodyear doesn't (or didn't used to) advertise any specific number for any of their tires. Maybe that's changed since NHTSA came out with the UTQG tire rating system. Even so, the UTQG doesn't guarantee how many miles you'll get. At any rate, I've had at least 3 sets of these tires on my 2001 Dodge Ram that now has over 225,000 miles. I usually get about 35-40,000 miles on them. They don't cost much, they look good, ride good, and are quiet. They don't inspire a whole lot of confidence in the rain or snow though.

My gas mileage definitely improved. More power and torque as wellI'm in canada so we measure in litres/100km. I went from 17-18 litres/100km down to 13-14 litres/100km. About 20-25% fuel savings. Biggest difference is in city driving and towing. They're are a lot of different models, make sure to get the right one for your tuck

I have had this unit on my car for over 10,000 miles and not a single rattle. If you are getting a rattle, let the system settle in for a little while (i.e., put couple hundred miles of driving on). After which you will want to re-adjust the fit re-tighten the bolts. In my case I found that immediately after the initial install the system looked perfect (alignment with cutouts was near perfect). However after driving for a few days the system moved a little. I simply loosened the bolts and re-adjusted. I've noticed that over the past 10K miles the passenger side exit is slightly off-center in the cut out, but it is not immediately obvious (you have to be looking for it), so I've left the system alone. But this adjustment process did convince me that the system definitely needs a re-tightening after initial driving. (I did not use a torque wrench to tighten to a specified torque but I did tighten this down very hard... maybe a little over-torqued... but it's all good).

There is a link to a PDF on the page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ It states that it is a limited lifetime warranty. I installed this pump nearly 2 years ago and it has functioned flawlessly. I replaced the part with an OEM pump twice on my '02 Suburban, which means three of them failed. This one has held up and been an awesome alternative to the OEM part for a lot less money. If your pump failed make sure your lines/shocks aren't leaking. My first pump failed due to a leaking shock.

It was last Fall when i changed the plugs on my '01 Suburban. The new requirement for the 5.3L GM engine is a spark plug gap of .045" vs. the original requirement of .060. I would make them all the same at .040 or .045, which ever is correct. Check through Google. The plugs on my vehicle had never been changed up to 160k miles and what a difference. I think the recommendation is to change them at 100k.

Mine says 6 years as well. If you're looking for a seat with a longer "life" I suggest checking out the Britax Frontier 90. I was a diehard Recaro fan until I could not get a decent installation in my new car with the seat belt. (Had only even used LATCH and my son was nearing the LATCH weight limit).

I have the exact same issue as you described and will replacing the auger housing and belt cover because the plastic parts have worn far enough to the point where the lowest bolt sandwiching those two pieces together has been ground down to nothing causing a gap where snow can ingress into the belt/pulley area. When this happens the snow comes into contact with the moving belt and melts/freezes causing the belt to slip.

The best thing to do is call the company. They have a tech rep who can answer the question. When I talked to them, I learned that the fitment charts change from time to time based on a number of factors and the tag on the chain container does not always have the most current info.

When I used my Pump Saver it blew the water out of the water pump. Unfortunately I had my face on front of the exhaust tube. Never do that a gain.I did not see anything in the instructions on pulling the engine cord after appling the Pump Saver. My pump has not frozen up during winters after just blowing out the pump with te Pump Saver so I assume from my experience that pulling the engine cord is not necessary.

Do not put it straight I did and after 300 miles was hard to down shift drained it out put syn 20w50 back .found out it to heavy to get into the needle bearings in the trans and they run dry .found out if you do half and half will be ok to run

I usually add it to the transmission fluid a couple thousand miles before I do a fluid and filter change, but you have to be careful of not over filling the transmission. In the case I can not do this, I will do a fluid/filter change, add the cleaner and leave it in until the next change. Havent had any problems and it has worked well for me.
