When shopping around for pricing, I have gotten 2 quotes from the dealer and others. One for just changing the belt and another for doing the water pump and the belt. I am assuming I should just do the pump at the same time but wanted to get thoughts since it is around $200 more. What is the average life span of the factory installed water pump? Also, if anyone has had their timing belts done recently, what have you been paying so I can compare. Thanks! d in utah My '99 SuperCharged SR-5 AMSOIL!! Re: timing belt - do h20 pump too??

IMHO, water pumps aren't expensive enough to not replace them when you do the belt -- Toyota stuff does last longer than other brands, but who wants the hassle of having to basically re-do the belt because the old pump starts to leak?

They will fail, probably sooner than later. Unless those parts have already been replaced recently. - seen in FOUR WHEELER mag July 2006 & OFF-ROAD mag Feb 2007 - '84 4Runner ARBed 5.29s F&R,4.7 & 2.28 t-cases,hy-steer,BudBuilt skid,30spl Longs,36" TSLs,Chevys '83 P/U, Buick 231 V6,Holley 4 bbl,Weiand intake,Downey headers,TH350 w/700R4 gearset Moderated by  4x4Wire, Adam F, Dandeman, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
