Fantastic presentation! You smartly replaced all the future troublesome parts for future maintenance. You gave a nice sequenced, yet detailed and concise explanation. Gives me confidence to buy this engine in a Toyota.

TIP: leave the serpantine belt on until you take off the fan. The belt helps hold the fan pulley.

When you installed your timing belt why didn't you use the marks? You have the crank marks CR on the Left cam , Left cam on right ETC?

Thanks!

I think my lexus gs430 has this engine

Nice under hood hot air intake

Looking at this and looks like the belt isn’t properly lined up with timing marks. CR on belt should be lined up with crank dot. Left hand should line up with drivers side. And right hand should be passenger side. Just a heads up to whoever does this.

great video - I have a half functioning, sometimes works blower in my tundra. I know it is not the blower.

Such great advice, thank you for posting

I purchased a 2000 Tundra new January 2000 I own it today and drive it almost every day. the third brake light assembly finally got so brittle from sunshine that it crumbled into pieces so I got an LED assembly to replace it. Here is the disclaimer, my truck was built in Indiana and the third brake light was adhered to the body/roof with an asphalt type sealant no need to remove headliner I replaced it today all is well. (before you stress over the "Built in Indiana part" , please do your homework )

It looks like you oriented The crush washer with the rounded side to be mated to the housing, but Toyota parts counter told me that the flat side is to go against the housing for proper seal for 2005 Highlander. Did you end up orienting with the rounded or flat side toward the housing?

Great video brother, I bought my 2004 Toyota Tundra for my cousin and the squirrels did some serious damage to the wiring I just traced the wiring from the sensor on the front right hand side and found they were completely chewed through I just reconnected them disconnected the battery to let it reset I'm going to drive it around and see if it goes off my issues a little bit more difficult because my speedometer is not working I already replaced the vehicle speed sensor on the driver side of the tranny and that still didn't cut it

On jobs like this, the first start up, makes me nervous. 😬

Torque should be around 36 lb ft. I think the 2014-2019 Highlanders have the same diff. Loosen the filler and remove it so the fluid will drain a little quicker ( like removing your oil filler cap before taking out the drain plug ).

“A-arm” 🫨

I always loosen the fan clutch with the belt on. It's like a built in strap wrench. If it slips just lean on the tensioner a bit.

I do have a question tho my upper right timing mark moved as I accidentally hit the sprocket while removing the water pump, will moving it back on to the timing mark cause an issue?

Hey thanks for the video

Hello there! Quick question: 1)how many miles do you get out of a full tank I noticed your gas gauge showed almost a full tank but you had gone 78 miles My 2004 DC tundra with 215k miles barely goes 180-200 miles on a full tank 2.5” lift 33s I noticed whitish exhaust (? Running too rich?) I’ve changed the MAF sensor Oxygen sensors Spark plugs and wires Cleaned the injectors Still approx 10 mpg I’ve heard some guys get 16-18mpg I’ve also heard the 2004 DC gearing is 4:10 which could be the problem Today I replaced the Vapor Canister Purge valve/canister

Ready for another 100k😊

Shouldn’t you replace the camshaft and crankshaft seals while you had all this off. Makes sense to do that when you get down to this level

I have an '04 sc430 and yours is the first video, and I watched many, that actually gave me a good idea of where these things are located. Thank you!! Also, thanks for the reminder to take my time and not to get frustrated.

I wish you could do same thing to my car, I live in Columbus, Ohio , where are you located?

Thank you for making this step-by-step video. I will be doing this to my 04 Tundra DC in a few days and I will be watching your video along the way. It will save me at least $1k by doing it myself.

Which one is bank 1 sensor 2

great video. I could not have gotten the job done without your insights!

Good video. Only thing I suggest is heat shrinking the leads individually.

How do i get the cams from spinning while i put the belt on

My Sequoia has 204k miles on it. It's preparing to get the timing belt, etc done for the 2nd time. It's overdue, I'm nervous about it, I still may have a shop do it. Thanks for the great vid.

My mirror light went out and i tried to replace it with a new one,but still doesn't work. Any idea about which fuse i should check?

I really appreciate your video!

Great video with awesome picture. Really helped me through this big job . Thanks so much for taking the time to do it.

Im sorry but where your diff sits has nothing to do woth tire wear at all. A proper alignment after the lift is the reason for the edge wear

Hard to find this information, so thank you for putting this together and making it so organized. We had a pack rat nest in the blower, which then led to the resistor going out on us. Got that ordered yesterday and look forward to putting it in and getting everything back to working order.

Just smack the fuck out of the tie rod seat... (Spindle or in this case ball joint housing)... 4 or 5 good snacks with a BFH, it'll pop right out

Thank you, starting on mine tomorrow. Very helpful!!

Screw a petcock in a bunghole

They make a whole replacement LED 3rd brake bar for 27 bucks

Two other videos doing the drain and fill on the rear diff on a 2019 AWD Highlander say the the torque setting on both the drain and fill plugs is 36 foot lbs.

I took a pool noodle , sliced it down and slipped it on the metal, after taking out the radiator! Makes it so easy to hang Over and work.

Bro your belt arrows didn’t line up on the cam?

I believe those bolt holes on the crank pulley can also be used with a pulley holder like I used on my Lexus several years ago? Correct

Nice video! Quick question. Aren’t you supposed to line the timing marks on “T” mark?

What the hell is a A arm????!!!

Great video for DIY'er

Very precise great visual 👍

This is very helpful. Thank you. You have it titled 14 to 19, is it different for 2021 Highlander? I got hit and run and they destroyed my driver side mirror. Thanks.

Over articulation from lifting will wear them out . I grind to inside angle down in side the cup to let the axe have more movement . But I wondered what I would do about my boots so I can thank you gratefully sir for sharing the right way to use these Porsche bates boots . This is a great video really good on explaining and showing . With a great understanding what the heck’s happening to cause the problem . Thanks again . I’d like to find out about some longer axel shafts without breaking the bank . Like some from another year and model Toyota that would have the same splines or the same 3 roller size as the 4Runner cv from 03-18 there the same . I’d just like some 2 inch longer axles . I’ll cut and weld my bottom a arms two inches or like 1 3/4 longer . I’ve got tubular upper arms so I can extend them also . If I knew what size axles were a couple inches longer that would work . I’m guessing the tundra is way bigger or not the same . If I had the older ones that were narrow I could use these type to extend the front end.

I thought those marks on the belt are supposed to align with the mark on cams and crank
