I only use gates kits on any HDI I work on. Out around 30 fitted to friends and family cars I had one water pump bearing fail after 4 months they changed it with no issues but as it was a home fit not garage no labour cost offered no other issues.
Did hear Gates did have a bad batch of 2.0 Blue HDI OEM water pumps with impellers coming loose
Pros: warranty honored, no other issues
Cons: bearing fail, bad batch
I installed a Gates one a couple months back and it worked well for a little while; engine got up to operating temp fairly quickly and stayed there, but now it’s running really cold no matter how long or how hard I drive it. Think it’s stuck open.
Pros: quick operating temp
Cons: running cold, stuck open
One this I did notice. Your belt is a gates t240, when I bought my truck the previous owner had that belt, and I found issues with it. The proper belt for mine is a gates T154. 154 being for 92 and earlier and 240 for 93 and up.
Cons: found issues
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Part number: T240
Good choice on going with Aisin. I had to redo the job on mine after 2 months when the shitty Gates water pump started pissing out the weep hole. Will never buy another Gates pump again.
Pros: good choice with Aisin
Cons: Gates pump failed quickly
We put a fresh Gates one in the daughters 1.4MA and it whined like crazy despite the tension being spot on.
Cons: whined like crazy
