2000 Taco - 6 cyl

Hello Everyone,

I'm the proud owner of a very low mileage 2000 6cyl Taco PreRunner.

Is this engine a timing chain, or timing belt......???

If it's a chain I have no worries, but if it's a timing belt (rubber), then I need to watch the age of the truck, and keep the rubber belt in mind.

I know that a rubber belt will tend to fail (through age) sooner than a chain.


Thanks for any info,,,,,!!!!

 

Thanks for the quick reply. My concern is the aging on the rubber as a belt.

At 20,000 miles I know I have no issue, but at ten years old, I can't help but wonder what the longevity of a rubber Timing Belt would be.....!!!

 

It's quite simple. I retired in Feb '00 and treated myself to a new Tacoma truck in March '00. We already had a new '00 Toyota Avalon that we used a lot. Then we got into motorcycle touring in April of '01, and the rest is history.

So, the little truck sets there, and is used to run to Lowe's for yard stuff, and little short runs here and there.

In the end, the '00 Tacoma has 20,4?? miles on the odometer and will turn ten years old in March '10.

Thus, I'm concerned about the rubber timing belt....!!!

You see, quite simple....!!!
