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.

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 he doesnt have the correct crank holding tool, and instead uses the impact gun to what feels good haha.

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

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!

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

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.

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!!!!

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😎

Because of your guidance,
I’m starting today on my 2001 Tundra with 200, 000 miles on the factory belt.
Thanks for your Very Clear instructions.

[RobertNichols-zcqs]

I just finished this today! Your video is simply amazing and I can’t thank you enough! I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[AoftheRays]

This is a very informative video. It lets me know exactly how much hard work I need to do to come up with the money to have someone like this do the timing belt.

[seagondollar]

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

[potatonumber]

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!

[tealmountaintrekking]

Just ordered a kit, gonna tackle this myself. Yall pray for me 😂

[hamadityson]

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

[gtapink]

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.

[kcdcdesigns]

I can't thank you enough for the awesome step-by-step tutorial! I threw the timing belt while doing 60 mph in my '01 Tundra 4.7L and after scoping the cylinders, the pistons and valves looked good, so I took on the task for my first timing belt replacement.
Got it all back together and it fired right up!
You saved me hundreds in labor costs when I didn't know if there was further damage.
Thank you again!!!!

[soloaquatics]

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