    Question on timing belt, water pump and etc

    hey guys. gotta 02 tacoma xtra cab 4x4 with the 3.4 v6. its getting ready to turn over 90k miles so the 100k mile mark is coming soon probably by late summer. as far as timing belt area related the stuff below is what i am going to have done to it

    timing belt changed
    new water pump
    new thermostat
    new upper and lower hose

    any other ideas? i figured they would last another 100k miles when i get that done.

    Nope that looks good to me.
    If the belts need changing too, that would be the time to do them as well.

    oh yeah i meant to add that too. they have tiny cracks in them and they make a lot of noise after a good rain.

    The tiny cracks on the V-grooves definately signal time for replacement.

    You may consider this part of the hoses mentiones but replacing the clamps at the same is a good idea. In addition, I had the small hose off the thermostat housing / WP leak after I did mine. Change that hose and clamp too if inclined.

    thanks guys. i just got a an estimate back at around 500- 550$ for water pump, t-belt, driving belts, and thermostat installed... not too bad since it will be done again in another 100k miles.. if my truck lasts that long lol

    also the yota guys told me to hold off on the upper and lower hoses. he said that he rarely sees them go bad less than 150-200k miles.. ill just keep an eye on them.

    I'd agree with that.

    I think it is recommended to replace the cam seals, crank seal, the 2 idler pulleys and the tensioner at the same time.
