Default 2001 V8 Tundra timing belt replacement
I have an 01 Limited TRD 4x4 Tundra with 84 k miles on it. I have never replaced the timing belt. Today I called around to different dealerships getting prices on the belt, water pump, thermostat, and spark plugs. The average prices were $50 for the belt, $130 for the water pump, $16 for the thermostat, and $24 for a set of spark plugs.

Labor costs for the dealerships ranged from $293 to $500. I am waiting on a labor quote from a local Mechanic shop.

Do these prices sound fair and has anyone heard of a timing belt breaking on a Tundra? I've heard that it would be an expensive fix if it was to break.

Is there anything else that I need to do to it from a preventive maintenance standpoint?
