What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Coming from HOUSTON,TX77054, I'm in Nashville Tn... My brother is a truck driver for the post office (contracted), they run 24/7 365, don't think weather has much to do with it...

2 parts were in stock, other one was 5-7 days out, already got it in, I have the tracking order now, dealer has closed the order...

I've ordered from Wesley Chapel before, if they had the Pro Grill for $138.00, I would of ordered it from them, but the TX dealer is only charging $13.73 for shipping, hard to beat that price... lol

 

Me too.... seems too good to be true. The seller

Me too. Seems too good to be true. The shop appears to be reputable with 268k sales and 4k followers so hoping it's a safe bet.
The 130 Amp alternator from Toyots goes for around $650+ around here so finger's crossed.
Not sure who makes OEM brand? Aisin or Denso?

 

Thank you and for the reminder. I'll do that first before unbolting everything. Now I have to look up the HP fuel pump price and replacmemt lol. I remember a few threads on that in here. The chiriping...

EDIT. Dam... a 30 second google search came up with this video and it sure sounds alot like it.

.Mine is a 2016. Bought it new.

The belt I got was not OEM. It was Bando brand and pulley #2 was Koyo brand.

 

There is a very good chance you need either the most updated serp belt, or the Conti branded belt, I would try a dealer belt before I installed a new alt.. I had a customer put me on to the Conti belts after dealing with belt noise on a different customers vehicle, and I had always used Gates/Dayco belts... But again, remove belt to check for noise 1st... lol


Start at 5:30 for the HP fuel pump chirp noise...
Start at 6:30 for the belt noise...

 

Thanks man. The more Google-Fu searching and reading on here, it definitely sounds like this. But again I'll check with no belt on.
Alternator will have to sit on the bench for now most likely lol. No harm in swapping it out though if I get bored one weekend.
EDIT: Great video, shows the location too! I can listen to that bastard now and see if that's it.

 

Team Oil Drop says 60k miles Car Car Nut says 120k. FWIW I'm going to knock mine out at 60k.

 

EDIT: If you are talking about the 3.5L V6:
May want to watch this video, the car nut says on the 2GR-FE is every 120K miles, the 2GR-FKS (2016-2023 Tacoma's) is every 60K miles... The owners manual is 60K miles...

 

This just reminded me, way back I had an Isuzu pickup, which had a huge meaty alternator and starter. I don't remember which component, but I had one of them rebuilt by a rebuilder in Columbus Ohio, and they did a fantastic job. That was their business so they were good at it. Did you get any prices on a rebuild? Maybe you could rebuild the old one just in case. I don't know.

 

I also use this model and have enjoyed it.

 

2 good looking rigs but i love the RCSB tundra always wanted one jealous

 

Pretty well the last dealer service, oil&filter, cabin filter, rotate tires, check brakes and fluids, and I finally got the C4 low profile front bumper ins

 

Another white light photo and a true 5 minute mod. Installed the Fleece All-Lights-On module I got from Hotshot Offroad. Now I can blast my high beams and fogs on those dark windy backroads. I’m gonna see any deer from a mile away hopefully.

 

You can check and see who the seller is on eBay and then if they are a dealer you'll know. If they aren't, best to stay away from them.

 

New RekGen bed mat.

 

LOL, I thought that was a single picture and was like is that a 16ft bed?

 

New plate came in, took the entire evening to install, 3 beers and 2 Home Depot trips. (Obviously being sarcastic)

 

Is it the photo or is that tree enormous?

It’s been awhile. New bumper, snorkel, rack and bed rack.

 

Next time you have your belt off run your pulleys in the opposite direction a few rotations.
