    I was changing a dayco belt every 4 months. I changed a few pulleys and belt, 4 months it squeaks again…. Changed belt and tensioner and it’s pulley, 4 months Dayco squeaks again. Toyotas are known for squeaking belts. I even tried finding the infamous “Goodyear Gatorback” belt….. they sold out to Continental, and they stopped selling it. You may find someone still selling them on eBay, no luck for my Tundra. So today Feb 6, I’m dipping my belt in 303 aerospace rubber protectant for 15 minutes….. I’ll update in 4 months…lol. I don’t even put the skid plate on anymore.

      Your experience is not typical of these trucks. I replaced my belt at 100k and again at 210k and both were quiet. The tensioner pulley did have a bearing go out and that’s why I replaced the first time.
      To say Toyotas are known for squeaking belts is simply not true.

      @@Ryan.Willis I sit and wait for my kid to get out of school in the car riders line……I can hear a squeaky car from 3 blocks away, when it reaches me, 9 times out of 10 it’s a Toyota. There are also RUclips mechanics that say, Toyota pulleys are slightly off causing them to squeak. All summer long my belt hasn’t squeaked, now that mornings are getting cooler and wet, my belt squeaks from the start. I spray 303 on the bottom pulley, where my belt is exposed and it stops immediately.

      We all have anticdotal evidence, but my two cents... we have five toyotas. Two tundras, two camrys, and a rav4. From2011 to 2022, and from 217k to 6k. None speak, never have. I wonder if there is a dry bushing, bearing, or such. To say everything of a brand speaks is to paint with a very wide brush.
      Everything that I am sitting at a light and something is sqeaking, it is nearly always an older American car. Just my experience. Never just one brand or category.
      I have seen videos that suggest the tensioner and idler should be changed when squeaking or premature wear occur. I hope that you find what the issue is. If so, please follow up with the fix.
      Also, to tightwad diy, thanks for this video, made it a quick job.

      Only use Toyota belts. Anything else does not work, period. Dayco, Continental, Gates…nope. Spend the 70 bucks on OEM and forget about it for another decade or more.

    Nice - thanks for sharing!! Firestone wanted $360 to change mine out!! Their shop rate is more than $180hr here in Texas. Their crazy!! Time to break out my tools and teach my 16 year son some quick car lessons.
    Quick question - can you explain more detail what size Alan wrench and what was the purpose of the Allen wrench? Does it go into the groove and lock the tensioner from turning?

    • @TightWadDIY
      @TightWadDIY  16 дней назад +1

      Sheesh that’s really high for labor! The Allen wrench fits into a hole that holds the pulley and relieves tension on the belt. I don’t recall the size and I no longer have this truck. Sorry.

      @johnny0454 3 месяца назад

      You use it to hold the tensioner out of the way for belt replacement, after the belt is in place you remove the Allen-key or whatever you stuck in there to hold it back so that it can again tension the belt. The holes for this are 5mm, it doesn't matter if you use an Allen-key, a bolt, a screwdriver, or whatever, as long as it fits in the holes to hold the tensioner back while you remove and install the new belt.

    Plan on cutting up your hands a forearms. There is zero space to work on my 2013 Land Cruiser. I read somewhere that shops would only charge $150 to do the job. If that's the case it would be well worth it. It's a miserable job on a Land Cruiser spend the money.

      I just changed mine yesterday on a 2008 Land Cruiser. Hardest part was twisting the tensioner with a long ratchet and getting an allen key (I used a 5.5mm) into the hole. Routing the belt wasn't easy but got through it using the diagram. Not an easy job, definitely a knuckle scraper. Very little space to work in. 90 minutes.
