Timing belt change interval?
|
|
My owner's manual only shows an interval (60K) for "Schedule A", which doesn't fit my truck. I more of a Schedule B driver. Schedule B only says to "inspect" the drive belts at 60K. No replacement mentioned.
Would this mean that I could go 100K or more, according tot he manufacturer? Or am I missing something.
I think that the original owner went 90K+ before the first belt replacement.
Thanks

If not at 60K, 90K to be safe.

Thanks. I figured that, but I wondered what Toyota's Schedule B really means.

Not that I'd recommend it but when I bought mine at 130K the belt hadn't ever been changed. Surprisingly the belt didn't look that bad.

i ran mine to about 140K before i changed it, and it looked fine. perhaps southern weather is easier on them.

I have 149,000 on mine. It's time to change it I think.

I have 106K on mine and am in the process of changing it.
The hold up is that I am making a tool to hold the crankshaft pulley. The strap wrench that I used on my montero broke when I tried to hold the crank on the toyota. The crankshaft bolt is torqued to 184ft lbs.

I bought mine with 125k miles and the belt had not been changed, I changed it ASAP and it was very cracked. Scared me to think if I didn't change it. I also found 2 broken off ring teeth from the front ring and pinion when I changed the diff oil. It has worked just fine so far moderate off-road use. I'm hoping that both teeth were not right next to eachother.

I've got a 99 Tacoma, and just changed the original chain and water pump at 173K. Truck is much quieter now, so it makes me wonder how many miles were actually left on them.

Use the starter motor to bump it off. It's a lot easier that way.
