#81 of 184 Re: Maintenance schedule for 2005 Tacoma [jmourik] by engineerboo Feb 01, 2005 (7:53 am)
Replying to: jmourik (Jan 31, 2005 9:53 am) Jan,   I just looked over the maintenance schedule for my 2005 Tacoma...   Kinda yes and kinda no!   We have to rotate tires every 6 months and inspect brakes every 6 months   If you get a Tacoma with the 1GR-FE engine, the spark plugs are replaced every 3 years. (Which is surprising to me, because that's my engine!)   The first major maintenance is replacing the timing belt at at 90,000 miles or 108 months.   Of course, these are for normal driving...if a person drove in extreme conditions, they have more maintenance.   Listen to all salesmen with skepticism, that's for sure!   Rick Replies to this message: jmourik (Feb 01, 2005 8:51 am) lostwrench (Feb 10, 2005 5:16 pm) engineerboo (Feb 10, 2005 7:38 pm)

Replying to: engineerboo (Feb 01, 2005 7:53 am) Thanks Rick!   Still looks pretty good though! Looks like most maintenance jobs should be fairly cheap...   jan
#84 of 184 Timing Belt? by lostwrench Feb 10, 2005 (3:10 pm)
I specifically asked the Toyota salesman if the Tacoma engines have timing belts or timing chains. He said, timing chains. Now I see the post which says the maintenance manual requires the changing of the timing belt at 90,000 miles. Help! Do the Tacoma engines have timing belts or timing chains? Thanks.

Replying to: engineerboo (Feb 01, 2005 7:53 am) Rick: Please confirm that your Tacoma engine has a timing belt and not a timing chain. 4 or 6 cyl? Thanks. Replies to this message: engineerboo (Feb 10, 2005 7:38 pm)

Replying to: lostwrench (Feb 10, 2005 5:16 pm) I have the 4.0 V-6 engine.   My manual says to replace the timing belt at 90,000 but has an footnote that says that's only for Highlander, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra, and 4Runner.   It says replace spark plugs for Tacoma...let me look for timing belt/chain..   The maintenance guide doesn't say anything about the Tacoma and a timing belt. (But it never says timing chaing anywhere, for any vehicle.)   I went to Toyota.com and downloaded the maintenance guide which, unfortunately, is the same I have. But I could search it and, still, no mention of if the Tacoma has a chain/best OR when maintenance is due on it.   I'd say replace the timing belt/chain at 90,000 anyway. (You don't want to have it break inside the engine....a very bad thing!)   Rick "Boo"

It's a Chain on the 05 4.0L. Toyota.com has a FAQ section and apparently has a search box for keywords. You guys made me curious since I have one. I just got off the phone with a Toyota rep who told me what I just told you. Replies to this message: dwbehrens (Apr 10, 2005 12:17 am)

I just looked it up myself. Start in the Toyota.com home page and click on the "search/help" section. Then click on the FAQ section and it's simple after that.
