Another Interesting Car Care Nut video, in this case on the US build Tundra 3UR-FE and issue with timing chain tensioner. Wondering whether 0W20 pushed by the EPA is resulting in less oil pressure and possible issue with these tensioners not exerting enough force. Seems the rotor type oil pump...
Quick post for anyone who needs to do this. My 2016 Tundra tensioner pully has been making noise. A lot worse when it's cold out. After about 4 months on backorder I finally got a new tensioner pully a few weeks ago. It's a DAYCO brand direct from Toyota dealership in Toyota box. Also replaced...
The bearing on the engine fan of my 2003 LX470 started to make noise, and actually gave out while I was showing it to the mechanic. The mechanic replaced both the
COOLING FAN MOUNT
SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER
though I don't know if the serpentine belt itself was replaced. I've just called and...
Hey all,
Can the belt tensioner on a 2011 be replaced without removing the radiator & fan & everything, or is it a more complicated job?
Not sure if it is a lot of work, or if I just haven’t figured out the magic moves yet.
Thanks!

New member here. Long time lurker. Just picked up a 2008 LX570 with 187K miles. I have a 500 mile drive from Orange County, CA to Tucson, AZ on Friday. Noticed a slight squeal last weekend. Noise went away once truck warmed up. Now it's getting worse and I can hear it when revving and...
I have a 2015 200 series with 98k. I posted another thread over the weekend on a timing chain tensioner noise. Thanks to the great folks on this forum for weighing in.
I’m now looking to go to 5w-20, which is what the owners manual says you can go to if 0w-20 isn’t available. Is it better to...
Has anyone replaced their tensioner pulley without purchasing the whole tensioner assembly? Toyota parts counter doesn't have a separate number for that pulley. It's not terribly expensive ($105) for the assembly, but it does look like a hassle to change the whole bracket - probably have to...
Hey Team,
So I'm a bit stuck. I wanted to replace the serpentine belt/idler pulley/belt tensioner, generally speaking it was all easy stuff until I got to the tensioner. It looks like it's held on by a 12mm (I think) bolt and a hex bolt. The hex, I am scared to really wrench on. It didn't budge...
Throwing this out there for those looking to replace the nuts and bolts that adjust the alternator and air pump belt tension on FJ60s -
I found Dorman part #917-148 on Amazon (LINK) to be a good fit and replacement. It has the same M8x1.25 thread as stock. Quick and easy fix for any...
I’m looking for the tool to loosen the supercharger tensioner pulley for the FZJ80. I think it looks like this...
If anyone has one for sale or knows where i can buy one i’d Appreciate it. Don’t know how much they were new but I’ve got $100 ready to go.
What sort of life have you been getting out of your serpentine belt, tensioner, and idler?
I have been hearing a low volume high frequency squeal on cold starts in damp weather. It goes away in a few minutes. You can't hear it in the cab, you have to walk to the front of the truck to hear it...
I swapped all my belts while I was changing my radiator today and the damn AC tensioner bolt twisted and snapped off right where it goes through the slider. I need to take a closer look again tomorrow in daylight for what to do next. Anyone have this happen to them? how did you fix?
Hi there, I'm hoping I can pick some of your brains. I have a locked 97 LX450 with 150k on it. I was messing around on a very very steep dirt hill trying to climb it (testing out there lockers ;) The engine was close to, but below, redline. I think the angle starved the oil pump, the pressure...
