Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2024
- In this video we carry out a crucial maintenance procedure which is replacing the serpentine belt on our 5th Gen 4Runner. This belt should be replaced every 100,000 Miles or sooner to ensure your vehicle remains reliable.
Thanks for watching!
The belt I used - amzn.to/3Uoatb3
or
Bando 7PK2150
I hope you found this video helpful, thanks for watching!

The labelled diagram is an excellent reference for us weekend warriors! These are the extra details you add to your videos which many appreciate. Was also wondering about the tensioner and slack which you already answered.
Thank you! I always try to have all the details there
Awesome explanation thanks for posting.
Perfect timing. I’m just about ready to do mine, already got the belt.
Absolutely excellent video brother. This will help a lot of the DIY subs that aren’t that experienced. Good stuff.
God bless~
From 2004 Trailblazer to my first diy on my 2020 4runner... thanks for the video.
One of the most awesome Toyota videos. Thanks Man.
Thanks for another great video and congratulations for getting your first 10k subscribers.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video and all the other videos. A lot of time and effort put into editing
My pleasure!
Its like you knew I just turned 200k miles!
Good job on that schematic paper for people to follow if and when needed 👍 happy st pat’s my man!
Thanks Sev! Happy st pattys!!
Would like to see an update video on the T10 head unit
Little fact I found interesting: The factory belt on my 2014 (Toyota 99367-H2150) is made by Mitsuboshi in Indonesia. Still looked like new when i replaced it with a Gates belt at 250,000km. 100,000km on the US made Gates, and it's already cracking
Apparently the belts aren’t the same. Bando makes for Toyota but they also make an “oem” for 4runner with some subtle differences. There’s a lot about this in the forums. Both are good but I personally go Toyota when I can and search for cheapest dealer online.
Or I should say aren’t exactly the same but are quite close.
Once you install the belt and release slack in the tensioner, is the tensioner at the correct tension, or are any adjustments needed? I'm assuming it auto adjusts. Hope that question makes sense.
You have the best 4Runner maintenance videos on YT. I've got your videos saved in a maintenance playlist for when I need them. Keep going and I'm sure your channel with eventually blow up!
Thanks so much! Yes the tensioner when released is preset to the correct tension and does not require and adjustment
Great vid. I’m about ready to replace mine so good timing.
@@ryanmoen6239 Thanks Ryan! Hope it goes smoothly for ya
I just bought a brand new 2024 4R TRD ORP and when looked over the engine bay i noticed my idler #2 is making a slight wobble. Is this normal?
Are you able to use the Allen key trick on the 5th gen tensioner as you can on the 4th gen? I have an 06 and just bought a 14.. the 4th gen as a small hold/loop on the tensioner, when you release tension you can slide in the allen key to hold the tensioner in place. Feed the belt from the bottom - easiest and fastest way to do this on a 4th gen - once belt is in place, release tension, pull the key, and done.
I'm going to do my 5th gen upgrades and maintenance soon.. I will check mine.
It would be extremely difficult because of where the oil filter holder sits, it actually blocks that spot where you slide in the Allen key on the 5th gen
I have a 2020 orp and dealer say I should change but I don’t off road and only have 53-54 k it seams low miles for that or I they trying to make money
Thanks! Amazon says the bando version doesn’t fit my 2014 sr5. How do I determine the length?
all of the parts websites show the correct belt to be bando 7PK 2145. I’m not sure which one is correct. But it’s probably a very minor difference in size.
@@daveorsararing2019 thanks, it is the correct number. I have already replaced the old one with it.
Niceee great video as always!.. i will be changing mine. Do you have video on how to change the idler's? Thank you so much for this video!
I do not, sorry. I know that other UA-camrs have a video you can use though
@@T4Rgarage much appreciated..!
Great video! By any chance, did you use a step stool to be able to reach deep inside the engine? There is no way to do what you did by just standing. So, to understand your video, you started from the top of engine then went underneath the car to finish up routing of belt.
I used my skinny arms from the top and went from the bottom with the skid plate off. Having a headlamp and good lighting really helps too
Great, thanks man! Appreciate your work!
Thanks for the video, my friend. This will be on my to-do list soon as well.
I’m curious - have you noticed a low-RPM whine from under hood? I have one that the dealer has never commented on, though I haven’t made a point to ask about it. I’ve done some research, but haven’t been able to figure out what it is or if it’s a concern. My suspicions go toward idler pulleys or timing chain.
I do not have a whine that I’ve noticed. Could be one of the idlers, haven’t heard about the 1gr-fe having any issues with cam chain or timing guides. Hopefully it’s a simple fix
@@T4Rgarage Yeah I’m hoping it’s an idler too. I suppose I could run the vehicle for a minute without the belt to confirm. Thanks for your reply 🙂
@@bobcoats2708 That would definitely be an easy way to confirm if it’s an idler or accessory 👍🏼
Would it be easier if I removed the entire front bumper? I’m planning on swapping bumpers soon so wonder if it’d be 2 birds 1 stone kinda ordeal
The radiator would still be blocking it unfortunately
How much torque on the tensioner? Thanks!
It self torques , its spring loaded. No need to torque, unless you remove it
Isn’t there a hole for a pin on the tensioner to hold it relaxed?
Only accessible on the 2010-2013 4runner. The newer 1GR FE have the oil filter attachment thingy in the way
@@T4Rgarage ok thanks, I have an 18, your videos are great dude! Thanks.
@@aaronchandler2380 Thank you!
Ser-pen-teen 😐
toyota has definitely gone the way of gm and ford building shit. with that fatass bumper, i've realized it's easier to get to it from the bottom.
