This video shows you how to install a TRQ water pump in your 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra 4.7L V8. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2000 Toyota Tundra
2001 Toyota Tundra
2002 Toyota Tundra
2003 Toyota Tundra
2004 Toyota Tundra
2005 Toyota Tundra
2006 Toyota Tundra

Something that may help out another person.... When I went to change my timing belt, the cam pulleys were off by one tooth. Whoever changed it last left it that way. I wasn't really sure what to do at this point. Everyone says make sure your 3 marks line up, but no one tells you how to fix it if they don't. I installed the new belt I had the same problem. 1 tooth off on the Cams. After hours of trying to research and fix this issue, I stumbled across A FREAKING TIK TOK VIDEO. It explained that if you run a piece of cardboard maybe 6-10" in between the cog gear and the belt, it will offset it just enough to shift the belt ONE TOOTH. IT FREAKING WORKED. I was so happy I could cry! Try the cardboard! it works!

[@johnlusher5772]

Dude seriously, I have been watching this video everyday after work right where I left off doing the step by step.. this has been the best tutorial I have ever seen.. thank you so much for your time and generosity posting this information

[@norcoauctions]

this just showed me that I will have this done by a professional toyota mechanic for sure. wow. you are amazing dude

[@c90adventures]

To anyone following this, he has his left and right cams terminology round the wrong way sometimes. The right cam is on the right of the vehicle as you drive it. If your timing belt says left and right on it, ignore this mechanic's terms, and follow the instructions in your kit. Left is left side of vehicle as tou drive it. Also: he just says "install crank bolt" and doesnt show it be tightened or give a torque.....because he doesnt have the correct crank holding tool, and instead uses the impact gun to what feels good haha.

[@thomashampton339]

Just have to say, I started working on cars in 1966 I am 74 now, i have always done my own mechanics, hard because i am not a mechanic, i just learn as i go, not having money can cause a person to do their own work and learn things .as most home mechanics know, I use videos often, I watched this one because i am doing the timing and pump+ seals on my 2004 v8 Toyota 4runner,I have seen many, I have to say this guy is so just professional and so ready and spot on on everything, easy to follow, 100% coverage on everything,no speeding ahead just slow but excellent coverage, He could represent any company in videos covering how to, the best i have seen, I would try to represent companies if i had his talent, so thankful i found him, will use Him anytime i can. thanks so much and i mean this, you are over-the-top good. Tom Hampton

[@TonyTony-by2vr]

I was sweating having to do this. My car 2003 sequoia 160,000 miles on it with the original timing belt. I can literally watch this and do it piece by piece now. In my garage. Doesn’t sound exciting maybe, but to me it is! Thank you so much for these tutorials. They mean the world to guys working on their cars.

[@Rtapley89]

I don't know if you will read this comment but if not i hope it gives the viewers some confidence doing this job. A friend of mine was in over his head doing this job on a 2002 model. Yesterday he texted me that he was nervous and doesn't want to mess up. He's never done a timing job before. I'm an Amputee(left leg from knee down) and my prosthetic leg is currently broken so I'm on crutches. So being the kind of friend i am i went to the shop on crutches and did this job. It took a little longer because of not having my leg but it got done. I followed this video step by step. Got the job done and the truck runs great. The only note i would add to the video is about the removal of the harmonic balancer(crank pulley). Do yourself a favor and spray it with a penetrating oil like deep creep and get a pulley puller. If that pulley hasn't been removed in a while it's quite a problem getting off and you risk moving the crank after having it and the cams lined up and ready for the new timing belt which will have you cussing like a sailor🤣🤣 So in order to make sure you don't move the crank be patient and spray it to help loosen it up and go slow with the puller. The consequence of getting impatient at that junction is putting the pulley and belt back on to get the timing lined up again. That's my only note. Other than that this video was on point from start to finish. Don't let yourself get intimidated by this job. The majority of the job is removing everything in order to get to the objective and putting all of that back on. Take pictures if you feel it's too much to keep track of and lay out paper labeled with where nuts and bolts go because there are a lot in this job. Good luck and take your time😎

[@amberfees9886]

I have been broken down in the middle of New Mexico. Your video is saving me not only on repairs but towing too. I was able to get all the necessary parts and have them delivered to a nice neignor thats been helping me with tools and rides. Your video is by far the most descriptive and has made this repair pretty straight forward for someone that has minimal mechanic experoence. Thank you for saving me what im guessing would have been close to 2k after a long ass tow. You rock!!!!

[@seagondollar]

Can't seem to find where you torque the crank pulley bolt, did I miss that?

[@potatonumber200]

Stocking up on parts rn, i have coolant and the Aisin timing & water pump kit, and I'll be doing this job on my 2001 Tundra soon. Thanks for the video, this is the most detailed one I've seen, and I've been looking for a while!

[@bobdobbs3360]

Brilliant how-to video. Certainly one of the best I've ever watched. One question: what is the torque value of the crank pulley bolt?

[@HawaiiLimey]

Just finished putting my Tundra back together, your video was invaluable. Big Mahalo.

[@tom23245]

This video made me decide on a newer sequoia with a timing chain 😅

[@yoji58]

I've watched enough to know why it costs so much in a shop, and know that it's worth it haha. Great video though.

[@user-tn8wo8ls2s]

AWSOME video and precise detail. Best details I've ever seen and I watch a lot of KZbin.

[@gtapink6625]

This was the first time I've ever taken on replacing a timing belt and water pump on my Sequoia. This video was AWESOME and spot on. Probably saved $1500-2000 repair bill. THANK YOU for the EXCELLENT work!

[@HGSR]

Just did this job on my 2001 Tundra 4.7 using this EXCELLENT video. Everything was exactly as shown and the job went well. TRQ, you’ll get my parts business because of this video.

[@writewritewrite]

This is the very best instructional video on youtube.

[@hamadityson2681]

In Arabic هذا افضل محتوي شاهدته في حياتي This is the best video I've ever seen 👏 Thanks Bro

[@rickjames9256]

Only buy AISIN timing belt kit for these engines. DO NOT use anything else or you will be doing it again in a short period of time. Or maybe even replacing an engine due to poor part quality

[@jtltet]

I didn't realize you had to take the truck completely apart.....lol. If I did all of that I doubt if I would ever get it put back together. I would end up with some left over bolts and wonder where they went. lol. This was a great video though and if I do decide to try it I am definitely watching this video like 1,000 times in the process.

[@joemetzger2805]

Great installation great camera angles and step by step video I will do my 06 Tundra

[@snort455]

Fantastic instructional video. I will print the transcript for when I do the job. Thank you.

[@marcotaranto9365]

ATTN: when dis-mounting AC compressor only remove the 3 14mm bolts and the 12mm bolt and nut on the outside bracket.. "the little guy". The other 12mm bolts can stay bolted along with the main mounting bracket. When Torqueing the 12mm bolt to 36 ft-lbs be careful Mine snapped 🥲. Either i missed the torque click on my wrench or 36 is too much sauce. TRQ, thank you for making this video I'm not trying to take away from your glory you deserve it and you're a hero!! Thank you so much you saved me alot of money!! 😁

[@dennissantana9346]

I'm doing mine next week This is so helpful

[@davidlecount2971]

Perfect video. Thank you very much.

[@rsdaarud]

Cool demeanor, involved job. Well done!

[@chrispalmer5491]

I lost the screws already. Great job sir.

[@takeshi1242]

informative vid! I'm going to tackle this on my 4.7L V8 Land Cruiser soon.

[@soloaquatics]

I’m fixing to attempt this challenge on my 06 tundra! Wish me luck!😂

[@1rxonfire]

i agree one of the best videos on a major project step by step instructions. Well presented !

[@SeanStClair-qe4sx]

Amazing video, incredible detail

[@darronguinn7286]

I know this is titled Timing Belt Water Pump replacement, but it seems to me that you should address changing small coolant hoses along the way while you are that deep into the project. I would hate to have to take half that equipment off again to replace a $5 hose. Otherwise this is a great video. I plan on performing this procedure on my 2000 Tundra. I will replace all hoses and the serpentine belt while Im in there. Thanks for the great narration including all torque specs along the way.

[@joedominick7517]

Excellent video very detailed . Thanks for the information.

[@VegasBugs]

Best video I've ever seen. I know I need help from a shop for this. Even with the video, it's too much for me. Thank you, Toyota, for not putting a chain in the 4.7. My Sequoia has 207k on it and it's time for it's 3rd timing belt. $1700 at the dealer.

[@TRQ]

+@TheVegasbugs Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@Bassrvr_Cape_Cod]

Easier for me to pay the $1100 and replace the timing belt and water pump at the same time…this is a lot of work!

[@LumosMx]

Best video I've seen for this job!

[@smokey8947]

Thank dude!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@joelrains7387]

Great post and very helpful

[@siphip5520]

@TRQ, is this job the same for a Toyota Sequoia 2004 4.7L V8 2WD? Thanks for the detailed video, I think I need to change the water pump on mine..

[@codyyoung6747]

Thank you for this video.

[@GopaKumar-lu7nc]

hello sir I change my toyota tundra timing belt with the help of your video. Thank you for your help and appreciated.

[@devinedwards9079]

Great video, one of the best that I've seen!

[@joshuamonk8446]

I just did mine, I'm concerned about something tho, the bolt that holds the tensioner pully to the tensioner bracket. Does that come already torqued from the kit? I can't remember if I checked that before putting it all back together. Truck runs normal after everything, just don't know if I should tear it back apart to see if that bolt was tight from the factory or if I have to tighten it

[@stevenatwater7298]

When did you torque the Damper bolt?? How many ft/lb or did you go by uga-duga's?

[@code_-kl5fu]

Super helpful did the job successfully thanks guys

[@joywiseman4704]

Thanks!

[@user-gd4gx7xc2q]

I didn't notice that the crank pulley bolt was torqued down. Is it not necessary to torque it?

[@enriqueslh]

Hey bro thats amazing video just i was wondering why you turn 50° the crankshaft my question is because the manual of my kit say no turn the crank my truck is 2000

[@mallardmalice5039]

I recently attempted this job but realized after removing the belt my timing was off and proceeded to move the crank thinking it would move cams as well back to tdc did i just mess up the timing completely or do i justnneed to rotate it back to its original position?

[@thatDIYlife]

Really nice video, should be the same process on a GX470

[@norcoauctions]

how long did this take and what would a normal charge for this job cost?

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Excellent video more like this please

[@slickrick876]

Wish this video was out when i started replacing the water pump over a year ago. Hidden bolts and bad weather made it difficult.

[@user-pf7zs5gu5j]

Will this process be the same or similar for a 2007 4.7 tundra?

[@snort455]

As good as videos get. Well done, man.

[@TRQ]

+@snort455 Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@mikeholman4284]

Is it any easier if you just want to change the water pump?

[@Methodical2]

Nice tutorial. Can those timing belt cogs move freely once you removed the timing belt? Also, would it be ok to put a smear of silicone gasket maker on the water pump gasket?

[@johnduong3914]

what sealant do you use for the thermostat housing?

[@94mr_mike]

Forgot to torque the harmonic balancer bolt. Or maybe you did but just didn’t show it

[@miket73]

I was able to reach that bolt in the back of the AC compressor with a 2 foot long extension and a 1 foot long extension through the wheel well behind the splashguard flap

[@norcoauctions]

how about sharing what type and what brand that cordless ratchet id. I could use one

[@ckawika]

Did I miss the part where to tighten the crank bolt?cause u just hand tightened??

[@Midgetslayer107]

What do I do if the cam on the side of the tensioner goes back a teeth or two when installing the tensioner?

[@KOTO-ROG6]

Great , how much do you chrage for this job? Iam going to do the same but is my first time on a tundra v8, help please bro

[@GERDM0729]

How much this labor for sequioa 2002 ?

[@shannonmunroe4003]

Do I have to do all of the same things if I just want to do the water pump?

[@greengrind5089]

About a third of the way through, stopped where you pull the crankcase pulley out and gonna finish tomorrow. Echoing the sentiment of everyone else here, thank you 😉

[@Rogpat1984]

What kind 9f tool are you using?

[@fatcatclark8428]

thisis a heck of a job. thats why dealers must charge so much. you can do it . tips.... make sure the small o ring that goes on the water pipe is lubed with some soapy water so it doesnt roll on you.

[@TRQ]

+fat cat clark Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@AlexA-fp1pw]

@TRQ is this going to be very similar if not the same for an 03 Sequoia with the 4.7 2uz-fe?

[@TRQ]

+@AlexA-fp1pw The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@Rondogg43]

So how long do Timing Belt actually last? ASIN or OEM part of course? My TB is was done at 160k on my 2005 Sequioia. I'm currently at 220k miles. I'm just preparing. My 2001 Toyota Avalon TB was replaced at 80k miles by the previous owner. It currently has 180k. I just changed it due to it being at 100k miles since the last change. The belt looked great. Feel like I wasted my time. It was only 200 bucks for the ASIN kit so not a big deal, but it did take me several days. Learned something new so that was cool. But I'm definitely not looking forward to the TB on the sequoia after watching this video.

[@aznmi3n6481]

Can someone explain why he torque the timing belt tensioner, and idle pulley and toke it off?

[@adrianw3985]

Rust belt truck... Loving life in Arizona.

[@gilbertsepulveda7972]

From start to finish, how long did this take you?

[@user-jp2kv8ei1o]

For spark plugs or a water pump you have to take a lot of parts apart first and then you have to lose your mind to get them replaced

[@davidgarcia1569]

So my upper right timing mark completely jumped clockwise, is this an issue?

[@peacetat]

You forgot to show stud bolts on water pump going back on. Also you can put thermostat housing on almost last cause it’s kinda in the way for the timing belt dust covers to go back on

[@mikelutts7088]

Soooo... they should be charging me an hour for labor based off of this video?? :)

[@rpsonntag5569]

Where are you located? Can I hire you to do this?

[@Methodical2]

Tip: put antiseize on every bolt removed.

[@ericvargas8113]

Anyone have troubles bleeding the coolant system?

[@dannyj7618]

You missed the very important part where you tighten up the Crank pully. This also being the hard part, because the pulley will spit. How TF do you stop it from spinning, when torquing it to 245 ft lb.?

[@ric2267]

Can you just change the water pump?

[@BBradshaw131]

Yall must be running these tundras up north with all the salted roads? There's herds of rust!

[@sgjesse13]

Is this exactly the same for 2005 sequoia ?

[@TRQ]

+jesse mena This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@thyslop1737]

Wow! That Tundra has some cancer. How many miles on it before you replaced the timing belt?

[@donniemiller6838]

What a pain I own a 05 tundra to me they are way over hyped tons of maintance to keep them going

[@user-jp2kv8ei1o]

Everything in modern models is complicated, narrow, difficult, and takes a long time to maintain, with incomparably high prices for spare parts compared to old models... How much I long for the past in everything.

[@Americadoe]

I hope he at least tightened that crank pulley bolt off camera 😬

[@ellenday-ks9wv]

The last bolt removed on the compressor should of been removed first..lol

[@smaqdaddy]

That thing is crusty! It been driving in ocean water?

[@matthewjames3854]

All i need to do is remove fan bracket i think i can without taking the radiator out or disconnecting any cooling hoses

[@filipshulikov143]

Did you find this car at the bottom of the ocean? Sheesh.

[@honeybadgerproductions9226]

i feel lazy to change the timing belt but also dont want to pay a shop $1000 bucks to doit for me

[@friendly3847]

Note to self, don't buy a V8 anything, time consuming as heck lol. Parts are couple hundred and labor is thousands lol.

[@user-jp2kv8ei1o]

The fan clutch in German cars has a twisted end that connects in the opposite direction of the engine, not as in Japanese cars, and is fixed with four bolts. How backward is Toyota

[@sergateway]

Mechanic is charging 2k. I know now why

[@mattwernecke2342]

What a major hassle.
