Hi,
I just purchased a 2002 Sequoia (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/#) with 103,000 miles. I am looking to get the timing belt and related items replaced but I have a question. I purchased one of the complete kits on Ebay with the water pump, timing belt, serp. belt, idler and tensioner bearings, crank seal and 2 cam seals. I have been reading on here that some people question the reliability of GMB water pumps. Aren't they an O.E. supplier? Should I send this kit back and face a $50 restocking fee or am I ok to install them without worry? I plan on keeping this vehicle a while and don't want to cause myself any avoidable problems. Thanks for your responses. I also posted this in the Sequoia forum.
