I just did the timing belt in my new to me 2004 limited and bought the aisin timing belt kit (tkt-021) with water pump. I bought it from summit racing for $183 had it overnighted to me for additional $33 and still cheaper than any parts store near me by $70.
That being said the Aisin timing belt kits are the only ones I use at my shop.
Recently replaced my 2004 UL timing belt at 100k and it came out looking like new with no real evidence of wear. Worth doing though, for peace of mind. Highly recommend the Aisin kit.
Yes. Those are the only brand kits I use for the most part (unless a customer wants factory).
My 94 ranger had 230k on it on the original belt. Looked about like this too, sold the truck in 2018, still had the original belt on it.
My rangers belt was identical to this when I bought it at 210
For Toyota, the Aisin timing belt kits are good. I've had one one on my Tacoma for a long time. Regardless, it is a quality product.
Make sure whatever you do, it's a genuine Aisin timing belt kit.
About 67k on the clock, 17 plate. Engine blew on a dual carriageway. Took it to a proper, full-fat Ford Dealer and Repairer to have a look and turns out, bad belt. They tried to replace the engine but they couldn't work out how to fit it, nor code it correctly. Ridiculous. Always had Fords, but this entire experience put us off them completely.
I have a lease 2020 transit, put it in for a new timing belt at 96k miles, drove a further 500miles after belt change and engine blew, found fault to be a bolt snapped on belt pulley, engine now scrap!\nThis van has full ford service history at every interval, and top-up oil was correct Castrol grade used everytime, garage told me they have three other vans in with same fault!
