Timing Chain

Does the timing chain need to be replaced on second gen tacoma. With 180,000 miles I am trying to be pro active and fix problems before something breaks, Thank you

 

No it should be fine.

 

Older trucks with timing belts need to have them replaced roughly every 100,000 miles. The ones with timing chains should last the life of the engine.

 

My first Tacoma (1996 1st gen) has over 375K with the original timing chain....keep on trucking!

 

I4 id imagine?

 

If it is indeed a chain. It would have to be a 2.4/2.7 as the 5vz-fe 3.4 was a belt. But I sure did love that engine.
I loved my 1st Gen.


The 4.0 is a great engine.
I just had so much fun and memories in my 1 Gen.

 

It was 2.4 brother....still love the truck.

 

Sorry should have mentioned it is a 4 litre engine.
