Air pump that is. The first time my FJ60 has stranded me, so to speak. I was driving home from Berkeley and as I'm about half way through the Caldecott tunnel, I start hearing a squeal--coming from my truck. Luckily there is an exit immediately after the tunnel, so I exit from the freeway as smoke starts pouring out from under the hood. I consider using my spare AC belt to run the water pump and drive it home, but I call AAA instead--I get four tows a year, I might as well use them.
That air pump was one I purchased from a local auto parts store. It lasted about 40K miles. When I put that one in, I had my OEM pump rebuilt, so now that's installed with a new belt.
