How to Replace the Drive Belt on a Gen 2 Toyota Tundra // 5.7L V8

[@williammouri1096]

Another first class repair. Not many techs would have cleaned up that leaking oil. 😊😊😊

[@dennisdoherty1133]

I had a 2007 Double Cab with the 8' bed 4x4 with the 5.7L, that was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. It got to 140k miles before it even needed a water pump. Shout out to Harr in Worcester, MA who was great to deal with back in 2007. I can't say they are any good or bad these days so no one jump all over me if they had a bad experience. This was 17 years ago when I was last there.

Please im begging u don't ever stop your video's!!!!!!!❤❤❤ I love them so. ❤❤❤

Awwww thank you!!!!!😁

[@MagnumWhisper]

Recently I've been working on a Tundra, don't have a lot of XP working on Toyota's, however your channel has been exceptional for education. I like the way you present the information and don't cut corners. You provide proper torque specs and even show the work being done on multiple different vehicles to show the variations. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your work! Thanks! Now time to attempt replacing my very first 5.7L water pump, yaaaay!

[@wb4rfd]

Thank you Faye for the great new video! I have a first gen Tundra (2006) with the 4.0 V6. Replacing the drive belt on it is almost exactly the same. I realized that with the skid plate (and I also have a front receiver that must be removed), this is not a job I want to do on the side of the road!

[@crbourret]

It's a great day when I can start it with Faye! See what I did there...

good job , I especially like you show the proper tools before the procedure.

Thanks 👍

Thanks Faye! And I am looking at your "Advantage" Lift!

Faye, there is NOTHING more attractive then a lady who knows her way around an engine bay and has the black fingers to prove it! Thanks for the video, and happy to subscribe! You are awesome and well done, truly, for kicking ass in a predominantly "male led" field. You are an inspiration to many, my niece wants to be a grease monkey engine jockey and I showed her your videos and she loves them! Girl Power!!! 🤜🤛

I don't know why or where our education system went wrong but the use of them vs than is the most abused / misused. It's than in your case, not then.

[@richthereturnrider6737]

7:19 great video young lady. Helped me out a lot

[@stco2426]

Excellent and well filmed. My Toyota has individual 'V' belts for the accessories (2 on the alt) and they all have individual tensioners. I think the serpentine belt setup is probably simpler. Be interested to know what that oil leak ends up being and hope it's not too big of a fix.

[@Golden-69]

I have to change my alternator on mind. Ty for the heads up on the belt.

Thank you very much!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Faye :) also sometimes certain vechiles be noise on belts or pulleys so loud Lol and seen Air Conditioning pump pulley or a Water Pump be hard to determine of that or not ! Even some Alternator can make noises to and usually Bearing inside is need lube with grease Lol !

[@Kilnor]

Any tips or tricks for the secondary air pump repair or replacement?

[@FayeHadley]

This tundra actually does need that, so I will be doing a follow up video on this one. Customer isn't sure about a factory replacement or bypass yet so once he decides, I'm sure you'll see it in a follow up video 😁

[@dannyj9577]

I never knew that tensioners have a hole to put a tool in there and hold it open.

[@FayeHadley]

Isn't that a cool feature??! Not all do across the board, but every Toyota one I've ever done has it!

[@rakatika]

@@dannyj9577 I found the tensioner hole when replacing the alternator on my mom's 07 Lexus ES350. Great feature!

[@rakatika]

So surprised to see Faye without gloves on! 🤯

[@FayeHadley]

It is over 100 and very humid, so the sweat just drips out of the gloves and down into my arm pits. It's very hard to wear gloves this time of year!

[@james1965]

Great video! Thank you. Now I'm ready if I ever buy a 2nd gen Tundra! One question though. In the video the top of the radiator is almost shoulder high on you. How do you work from the top of that truck? What do you do, float on the magic of pixiedust? Chickens are fire!

[@bobmiller7426]

As a very experienced tech, do you have any tips when you clean the grease/oil buildup off of parts? I’m sure you have done this many more times than I and any tips to save time and effort would be appreciated.

[@FayeHadley]

Best imo is just brake parts cleaner with a little wire brush and compressed air! Easy, fast, and then of course make sure you burn everything off before the customer picks up their car so they don't freak out over the smoke show!!!😁

I have a ton!! But lately she has been running great and hasn't needed anything 😅 her brakes are getting a little low I suppose so maybe I'll do those in the future, but overall she doesn't really need any work right which is a surprise 😜

[@lowlifea_yt8164]

My 5.5mm hex bolt in the middle of the tensioner is rusted over any tips on getting it out?

[@mikescout5849]

Appreciate the content Faye! What manual were you using on this tundra?

Torque specs on a tensioner?

Well this is clearly a sign as I've been debating on changing my 18 tundras belt.

[@bigpoppapump4060]

Hey Faye wish u were my mechanic I did the top pulley dz no prob then I went for the tensioner pulley n couldn’t get the thing off I was using a 6mm Allen key that’s what I seen in other videos that it took but I think it is a tad smaller like the 5.5 u said it was ima have to get me one of those also I need my alternator replaced but that looks like a nightmare to do by myself I’ve seen vids on how to replace the alternator n they made it look ok not too hard but not too ez well it’s gonna b super hard for me to do on my own I need a mechanic help on this one

[@klwthe3rd]

Faye do you still service vehicles in your immediate area? Like are all the vehicles in your videos friends? Or clients?

[@FayeHadley]

I do! I never stopped, I just don't like to film customer cars because it slows down the jobs and I just want to get them done, gone, and paid and most people expect a discount if I film their car for a video or try to get the work for free so I stopped doing that a while ago unless I know the owner is cool. I have customers from all over but at the moment I'm only accepting Supras as new customers because I'm trying to move my business to only my favorite car in the universe!! But all my old customers are grandfathered in with their Toyotas :))

[@jaywattman199]

You didnt mention the tensioner torque spec.

[@Diesel57]

Faye, Have you ever thought about teaching other up and coming mechanics with your vast knowledge? A college course?

[@Jack-yl7cc]

She actually used to teach basic foundational automotive mechanic knowledge to small groups women; I don't know if she still does or not.

[@FayeHadley]

I stopped during covid, but I recently started back up and have a brakes class next month. I also always have someone I'm mentoring, and right now I'm helping my current mentee with his project Miata. Sharing the knowledge and the love of the trade is very important to me, but I don't have interest in becoming a teacher at this time. I enjoy wrenching too much to give it up to teach.

[@bobbarnhill8557]

Gosh! were was this video a few months ago when I did my belt.. Then of course the Alternator started screaming at me shortly there after. Got to do it all over again plus the pulleys.

[@paulabrego6777]

[@Traveling_with_FIVE_Cats]

Always well done.. Freshly done video-wise as well!

[@practicalandy1976]

I would reccomend removing the allen wrench after the belt is removed, then remove the tensioner from the truck. Putting it in a vice is an unnecessary added step.

[@JamesRook]

Serpentine belts are a complete pain IMHO. The addition of expensive wear items like the idler pulleys and tensioners which more than likely will need replacement at some time just add more cost to a vehicle. Then you have the almost impossible task of changing a belt on the side of the road on a front wheel drive vehicle when you have to remove a wheel and fender liner, maybe a motor mount too, and you might need a lift. You also can't slack off or remove one belf if component failed, say the A/C compressor with a seperate belt. I used to always carry spare belts in my crash bag but that's been replaced by my phone since I'll have to call for a tow if a belt fails.Sometimes the old tech had a lot going for it.

Call me weird, but I can't stand having greasy oily hands. I don't even work on dirty components. I clean them off first. I've been doing all my own vehicle repairs for around 55 years now, and learned very young to clean things and wear gloves. Imagine my joy when they finally started selling the Nitrile gloves. ~but that's just me, you do you. I love watching your videos. You're awesome! Thanks.

[@ranger178]

ahh the famous v8 rip old faithful the new v6 is garbage

[@negativeindustrial]

Seems they left machining trash in the oil galleries. Toyota stepped up and are replacing all of the engines. I suspect this will be a repeat of the 7M-GTE snafu from the 1980s, their last major issue, and we will see a substantially robust replacement in the next few years. Last time we got the legendary 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE in response to their mistake.

[@FayeHadley]

If you think about it too, the new V6 was a pandemic baby. Many good journeymen and machinists were let.go, then they started up production here in the US and hired on all new talent or rehired folks who hadn't found other jobs elsewhere. This engine is completely now and the manufacturing and the humans are all new. Toyota will do right by their customers, I'm already seeing the long blocks coming our way, but I agree it's a bummer!

[@ranger178]

@@FayeHadley I think the real problem is the new CEO trying to make a name by changing everything to make more profit and look good to the company rather than going for reliability.

[@negativeindustrial]
