#28 of 73 toyota tundra 2002 by thomasdubya Mar 27, 2008 (8:00 am)
I have a 2002 toyota tundra extended cab,3.4 l engine.I called the local toyota dealership to get a price on replacing the 3 front belts. The service advisor advised me that the timing belt and water pump needed to be replaced at the same time with a cost of $800.00. The tundra has $122,000 miles and the above service has not been done. Is this the correct advice or is he trying to gouge me?

Replying to: thomasdubya (Mar 27, 2008 8:00 am) Regarding replacing the timing belt and water pump. I have a 2002 Tacoma with 360,000 kms. (225,000 miles) and I have had the belt and pump replaced twice. The first time, I was shocked at the price, but the dealer has assured me that if the water pump fails, it takes the belt with it. Therefore, it is just false economy to replace one and not the other. I have since checked and they are telling the truth. Toyota always errors on the side of being safe and practical. You would be doubly ticked off if your water pump failed and took out the belt just after you paid for the belt to be replaced.   By the way, this truck runs like a top, burns NO oil and is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.
#31 of 73 Dual exhuast for 2005 tundra by csky Mar 31, 2008 (7:02 am)
Howdy -Jus looking for a little help on where to find a decent after market dual exhuast setup for my 05 tundra prefer a cat back setup . And I wanting to replace my bridgestone tires [I dont like these tires at all ,at 40 psi its like having skates on the front]   I prefer an semi agressive ,heavy sidewall ,semi smooth ,semi quit ride,handles well with 40 to 50 psi , High milage [50,000 +] good on snow rain dry and off road,and will handle my travell trailer. This is a great truck and I couldnt be happier . Also has anyone out there converted there 4x4 front axle to lockers ?if so ,was pretty simple and affordable ?

Replying to: csky (Mar 31, 2008 7:02 am) I suggest a visit to your local independent muffler shop. I found that for under $300 you can get a nice sounding, cat back system . Just keep your original in case you change your mind. You can expect about five years of service life from this price range of system.The muffler will have a lifetime warranty and the pipes are aluminized. Someone should feel free to correct me if I have that terminology wrong. It is not all stainless but it is very reasonably priced, I put a set of Cooper tires on my tundra when the Bridgestones bit the dust at less than 30k.The originals were a big let down for me. Good luck. Replies to this message: csky (Apr 03, 2008 5:01 pm) apptun (Apr 04, 2008 7:37 am) obyone (Apr 05, 2008 11:54 am)

Replying to: csky (Mar 31, 2008 7:02 am) Go to tirerack and check out the Firestone Destination A/T.   Best bang for the buck fulfills all your requirements.

Replying to: csky (Apr 03, 2008 5:01 pm) The gains will be extremely small. The system will sound really cool! Just be careful to refrain from driving harder to enjoy the sound improvement or your mileage may actually decrease. I am hoping that the addition of a cold air intake will allow the exhaust to produce some additional improvements. Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 05, 2008 11:54 am)

Replying to: apptun (Apr 04, 2008 7:37 am) The only thing a cold intake will increase is the noise in your cab and the silicone in your oil. But hey all the truck owners who swear a marked increase in seat of the pants power with a catback and air intake can't all be wrong can they?   Toyota sells a supercharger. I'd have the dealer install that and be done with it. That way you'll have the fastest and quietest Tundra on the street.
