I had a 2007 Double Cab with the 8' bed 4x4 with the 5.7L, that was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. It got to 140k miles before it even needed a water pump. Shout out to Harr in Worcester, MA who was great to deal with back in 2007. I can't say they are any good or bad these days so no one jump all over me if they had a bad experience. This was 17 years ago when I was last there.
Thank you Faye for the great new video! I have a first gen Tundra (2006) with the 4.0 V6. Replacing the drive belt on it is almost exactly the same. I realized that with the skid plate (and I also have a front receiver that must be removed), this is not a job I want to do on the side of the road!
Faye, there is NOTHING more attractive then a lady who knows her way around an engine bay and has the black fingers to prove it! Thanks for the video, and happy to subscribe! You are awesome and well done, truly, for kicking ass in a predominantly "male led" field. You are an inspiration to many, my niece wants to be a grease monkey engine jockey and I showed her your videos and she loves them! Girl Power!!! 🤜🤛
my first timeing belt i replaced was on my 1986 ford exp . i took it to mechhinic to have them do it when i got it back it wouldnt even go up hills. i took it back they said it would haave to be monday before they can relook at it since it was friday i just took it back home got a owners manual. and replaced it my self was easy as hect except the crankshaft pulley was so close tto engine bay wall it was almost imposale to get socket wrench in there to remove pulley..but i got it done and that was the last time i ever took a car or a motorcycle to a mechanic. and even became a shade tree mechanic for others making decent money.
Excellent and well filmed. My Toyota has individual 'V' belts for the accessories (2 on the alt) and they all have individual tensioners. I think the serpentine belt setup is probably simpler. Be interested to know what that oil leak ends up being and hope it's not too big of a fix.
I have a ton!! But lately she has been running great and hasn't needed anything 😅 her brakes are getting a little low I suppose so maybe I'll do those in the future, but overall she doesn't really need any work right which is a surprise 😜
Great video! Thank you. Now I'm ready if I ever buy a 2nd gen Tundra! One question though. In the video the top of the radiator is almost shoulder high on you. How do you work from the top of that truck? What do you do, float on the magic of pixiedust? Chickens are fire!
As a very experienced tech, do you have any tips when you clean the grease/oil buildup off of parts? I’m sure you have done this many more times than I and any tips to save time and effort would be appreciated.
Best imo is just brake parts cleaner with a little wire brush and compressed air! Easy, fast, and then of course make sure you burn everything off before the customer picks up their car so they don't freak out over the smoke show!!!😁
Excellent video Faye :) also sometimes certain vechiles be noise on belts or pulleys so loud Lol and seen Air Conditioning pump pulley or a Water Pump be hard to determine of that or not ! Even some Alternator can make noises to and usually Bearing inside is need lube with grease Lol !
This tundra actually does need that, so I will be doing a follow up video on this one. Customer isn't sure about a factory replacement or bypass yet so once he decides, I'm sure you'll see it in a follow up video 😁
Serpentine belts are a complete pain IMHO. The addition of expensive wear items like the idler pulleys and tensioners which more than likely will need replacement at some time just add more cost to a vehicle. Then you have the almost impossible task of changing a belt on the side of the road on a front wheel drive vehicle when you have to remove a wheel and fender liner, maybe a motor mount too, and you might need a lift. You also can't slack off or remove one belf if component failed, say the A/C compressor with a seperate belt. I used to always carry spare belts in my crash bag but that's been replaced by my phone since I'll have to call for a tow if a belt fails.Sometimes the old tech had a lot going for it.
I stopped during covid, but I recently started back up and have a brakes class next month. I also always have someone I'm mentoring, and right now I'm helping my current mentee with his project Miata. Sharing the knowledge and the love of the trade is very important to me, but I don't have interest in becoming a teacher at this time. I enjoy wrenching too much to give it up to teach.
I do! I never stopped, I just don't like to film customer cars because it slows down the jobs and I just want to get them done, gone, and paid and most people expect a discount if I film their car for a video or try to get the work for free so I stopped doing that a while ago unless I know the owner is cool. I have customers from all over but at the moment I'm only accepting Supras as new customers because I'm trying to move my business to only my favorite car in the universe!! But all my old customers are grandfathered in with their Toyotas :))
Isn't it nice having long, slender arms when you have to get up into a motor like that? Too bad everyone can't buy mechanics' LSAs (Long Skinny Arms) off a Snap-On truck. 😀
Gosh! were was this video a few months ago when I did my belt.. Then of course the Alternator started screaming at me shortly there after. Got to do it all over again plus the pulleys.
I would reccomend removing the allen wrench after the belt is removed, then remove the tensioner from the truck. Putting it in a vice is an unnecessary added step.
Call me weird, but I can't stand having greasy oily hands. I don't even work on dirty components. I clean them off first. I've been doing all my own vehicle repairs for around 55 years now, and learned very young to clean things and wear gloves. Imagine my joy when they finally started selling the Nitrile gloves. ~but that's just me, you do you. I love watching your videos. You're awesome! Thanks.
Seems they left machining trash in the oil galleries. Toyota stepped up and are replacing all of the engines. I suspect this will be a repeat of the 7M-GTE snafu from the 1980s, their last major issue, and we will see a substantially robust replacement in the next few years. Last time we got the legendary 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE in response to their mistake.
If you think about it too, the new V6 was a pandemic baby. Many good journeymen and machinists were let.go, then they started up production here in the US and hired on all new talent or rehired folks who hadn't found other jobs elsewhere. This engine is completely now and the manufacturing and the humans are all new. Toyota will do right by their customers, I'm already seeing the long blocks coming our way, but I agree it's a bummer!
@@FayeHadley I think the real problem is the new CEO trying to make a name by changing everything to make more profit and look good to the company rather than going for reliability.
@@FayeHadley My boss here in Texas bought two of the final year V8 trucks and he distributes the miles as evenly as possible between them. Seeing as he’s in his mid sixties, I like to kid him that they will be barely broken in by the time he dies. 😂
Another first class repair. Not many techs would have cleaned up that leaking oil. 😊😊😊
Please im begging u don't ever stop your video's!!!!!!!❤❤❤ I love them so. ❤❤❤
Awwww thank you!!!!!😁

It's a great day when I can start it with Faye! See what I did there...
😁😁😁
Great little job. I think i can do this myself. You don’t want this to break when you’re on the road.
good job , I especially like you show the proper tools before the procedure.
Thanks 👍
That's comical your sister also has a passion for chickens. Thanks for the tutorial, Faye! Cheers!

@@FayeHadleyyou’re welcome

I did this to my 2016 Tundra in June. Do it Faye's way. Going at it from above is a pain
And one day i wish i could get to san Antonio to have you 🔧 on my lincoln ls . just so can say you have worked my ride
I have to change my alternator on mind. Ty for the heads up on the belt.
Thank you so much Faye! That's very insightful. Keep up the good work.
7:19 great video young lady. Helped me out a lot
I always enjoy your videos Great job keep doing what you are doing 👊🏼❤️🇺🇸
Love your videos , and the Beautiful Chickens at the end !!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you very much!
Excellent video, Faye! I'm going to have to do this to my 2016 Tundra. 👍
Go for it!
So surprised to see Faye without gloves on! 🤯
It is over 100 and very humid, so the sweat just drips out of the gloves and down into my arm pits. It's very hard to wear gloves this time of year!
You are wonderful Faye. !!!!

You gave me some great tips. Them lower engine pans. I've helped a few people out because of lube shops don't put all of the bolts in. Lazy people, 😢

Well this is clearly a sign as I've been debating on changing my 18 tundras belt.
Dirty hands on a YT mechanic AND cute chickens for a closer? Wish I had more than one upvote to give.
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Faye!
You are so welcome!
I never knew that tensioners have a hole to put a tool in there and hold it open.
Isn't that a cool feature??! Not all do across the board, but every Toyota one I've ever done has it!
@@dannyj9577 I found the tensioner hole when replacing the alternator on my mom's 07 Lexus ES350. Great feature!
Hey Faye, do you ever do any videos on your old VW rabbit? I'm in the process now of purchasing an '80 rabbit... my first love

(this is just a joke ) 0:30 your hands are so clean, how are you a Mechanic lol
Excellent video Faye :) also sometimes certain vechiles be noise on belts or pulleys so loud Lol and seen Air Conditioning pump pulley or a Water Pump be hard to determine of that or not ! Even some Alternator can make noises to and usually Bearing inside is need lube with grease Lol !
Any tips or tricks for the secondary air pump repair or replacement?
This tundra actually does need that, so I will be doing a follow up video on this one. Customer isn't sure about a factory replacement or bypass yet so once he decides, I'm sure you'll see it in a follow up video 😁
Sweet..2GR FSE Next

What's new!
Cool!!
I need this done..
(Chucky!! Yeh, baby..) you need replacing..
Lighting oh boy!
I want that truck, fix!!
So sweet and chatty!
Always well done..
Freshly done video-wise as well!
Faye, Have you ever thought about teaching other up and coming mechanics with your vast knowledge? A college course?
She actually used to teach basic foundational automotive mechanic knowledge to small groups women; I don't know if she still does or not.
I stopped during covid, but I recently started back up and have a brakes class next month. I also always have someone I'm mentoring, and right now I'm helping my current mentee with his project Miata. Sharing the knowledge and the love of the trade is very important to me, but I don't have interest in becoming a teacher at this time. I enjoy wrenching too much to give it up to teach.
I need to upgrade my flashlight.
Faye do you still service vehicles in your immediate area? Like are all the vehicles in your videos friends? Or clients?
I do! I never stopped, I just don't like to film customer cars because it slows down the jobs and I just want to get them done, gone, and paid and most people expect a discount if I film their car for a video or try to get the work for free so I stopped doing that a while ago unless I know the owner is cool.

Faye is so fine she can definitely make the rosters crow
You didnt mention the tensioner torque spec.

That job pays 2 to 3 tenths (12-18 minutes) at most. And it looked like you wasted a 1/2 hour or more. Flat rate techs don't have time to play around.
Egg laying Hens ?
Yes !!
that is the Dirtiest I've ever noticed your hands
I know I try to stay as clean as possible but the weather makes it impossible to wear gloves!
I am honored to know we have matching torque wrenches 🫶🏻
