FJ62 - WHY TWO OPTIONS for BELT, V (COOLER COMPRESSOR TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY), NO.1 (1 Viewer)

[GCRad1]

For 1988 - 1990 FJ62's, why is there two options for the A/C Belt? How do I know which to choose?

BELT, V (COOLER COMPRESSOR TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY), NO.1
1] 99332-11175 / 99332-11175-83
2] 99332-11180 / 99332-11180-83

Why the two options?

The other two belts do not have options:
• BELT, V(FOR FAN & ALTERNATOR) 90916-02141
• BELT, V(FOR AIR PUMP) 90916-02193

There is a specification break at august 1988. You should confirm your build date (month/year) then purchase the appropriate belt. If your build date is 8/1988 then you should search by your VIN number.

Why? There is a similar spec break in the AC Compressor. might be pulley size or something.

there is in fact ONLY 5mm that's right 5 single millimeters difference in length in the 2 belts above , and in-fact there 100% interchangeable part #'s


this is because the adjustment range of the tensioner method here has i much much wider range of millimeters , like over 50+


so why Toyota started with the shorter one , then had a bright idea to make it a the thickness of 2 Thomas Jefferson Nickles longer ?

is one of the great LAND CRUISER parts mystery's that may never be solved ?

THANK YOU SIR! Yes of course, "build date break!" How silly of me to forget the intricacies of Land Cruisers!

In my mind, there are only three belts on the rig?

Is this a fourth set of numbers that you have added here?
Compressor Assy, Cooler"
88320-60151 / 08.1987 - 08.1988
88320-60280 / 08.1988 - 01.1990


These two belts are standard fitment from 08.1987 - 01.1990:
1] BELT, V (FOR FAN & ALTERNATOR) 90916-02141
2] BELT, V (FOR AIR PUMP) 90916-02193

These fitments are based on month of build-date (08/1988 is the split month) so it will be Vin Specific:
Belt, V (Cooler Compressor To Crankshaft Pulley)
3a] 99332-11180 / 99332-11180-83 Date Range: 08.1987 - 08.1988
3b] 99332-11175 / 99332-11175-83 Date Range: 08.1988 - 01.1990

PS: THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO!!!

The longer belt makes it much easier.I think Toyota figured out the first belt was a little tough to put on.I’ve used both.

But they did change the Compressor Assy, Cooler itself:

Compressor Assy, Cooler
88320-60151 / 08.1987 - 08.1988
88320-60280 / 08.1988 - 01.1990

Maybe there is a different pulley size?
