Re: Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement
Toyota recommends replacing the timing belt every 90k on vehicles modle year 98 and newer, and 60k 97 and older. However the part # for the timing belt are the same for 96 through 2002 4 runners. I think they relized you can go farher than 60k. They are also able to advertise longer maint intervals this way.
There is a lot involved on the V-8 t-belt (a lot of parts to take off). Definatly replace the water pump, t-stat, and serp belt at the same time.
