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.

Why I believe the 05 Tacoma V6 has a timing chain is because I read it on Toyota.com. Try this: Go to toyota.com then click on search/help then click on frequently asked questions then in the search text box type in timing chain then click on number 10-timing belt and timing chain. There you will see a list of all Toyota models going back to 1990 and whether they have a timing chain or belt. It says the 05 Tacoma V6 has a timing chain.

Hey 4.0L 2005 Tundra owners,   What grade of fuel is recommended for your 4.0L?   I have an 05 Tacoma with the 4.0L and premium is recommended.   Thanks

Replying to: accesscaber (Mar 03, 2005 12:22 pm) Accesscaber: Procedure to turn off the eng req light is in your owner's manual. (I remember reading about mine but I have a Tacoma so not sure if it's the same for a Tundra.) Mine has something do with the ignition key.   Hey, I was parked next to a Tundra and I thought it was a Tacoma until I really looked at it...very similar design! (Both are sharp!)   Boo
