Timing chain

Hello everybody,where is the best place/brand timing chain kit 06 4.0 tacoma? Thank you

 

Why not OEM? That is the route I would go.

 

Where can I find the whole oem kit?

 

who cares if you have to piece it together by buying individual parts, dont skimp here....
To much work to save a few bucks & have to do it twice...

 

You are right,found a supposed OEM kit on ebay,phasers and all,looks legit,I will see

 

another thing, just cuz it says "oem"
doesnt mean its genuine toyota parts which is what you want..

 

The chains either you are going to want to order from the dealership or Aisin chains as they make them for Toyota.
You can find the aisin part numbers on their website.
You will be surprised to find that for quite a few parts that aftermarket is only a couple more dollars for than ordering from the dealer.
In that case I would not order aftermarket no matter what brand

Please, do not ever buy aftermarket timing components (chains, phasers/gears, guides, tensioner). You will regret it

 

I never recommend buying critical auto parts from Amzon/ebay.

If the price is way less than the cost from a legit supplier that's huge red flag that it's probably counterfeit/china junk.

 

Im all about trying to save a dollar but more time than not, it bites you....
Put 3 Dorman plastic stat housings & 3 doorman in-tank fuel pumps in my 00 explorer daily driver, before I said enough is enough & paid for the ford parts.
Theres a reason the offer free lifetime warranty, they have no choice, you need it....

Recently reached out to my suspension guy at my old work, going to do a front spindle lift on a 10 ranger I bought my teen son..
Amazon had pretty much a complete suspension kit for like $80 for both sides, UCA, tie rod ends & rack shafts, sway bar links, lower ball joints, etc...
Theres nothing wrong with any of the current components in the truck now, just figured I was in there....
I texted my suspension guy to get his feedback,
I got one of these....

Yeah, I knew better, still very tempting...

 

For sure, the lifetime warranty usually means you will be replacing it for a lifetime.

Some Dorman hard parts are good but if it's electronic, plastic, or rubber part it's probably junk.

Yea alot of people fall for the Amazon/ebay/auto parts store cheap parts and then wonder why their shit is still broken or broken worse when they get done, then us techs get it and have to take all that crap back off and put the good parts back on (if they didn't already throw them in the trash) so we can find the original problem.

Happens to me quite often and I see it on Ivan's channel all the time.

 

Thank you for all of the input,came to my senses and canceled my ebay order,gonna bite the bullet and do what I knew was right in the first place lol
