Timing belt OEM Toyota or OEM FORD
My 96 Camry 265k has the original belt and pump.
I was in a similar situation on my LS430. I saw the sticker under the hood that was done 130k miles prior to the current mileage. The belt was perfectly fine and had most likely been replaced since. If it’s a genuine Aisin/Toyota belt it’s probably still good. I’ve seen these go far and beyond 10yr/100k mile mark
the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.
I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.
Built Toyota tough. 20+ years out of a factory belt.
I bought my 1st Toyota T100 3.4l it had 198k miles, when I removed upper timing cover, the water pump pulley FELL out, the belt was about 1/2 as wide as new. Truck ran fine!
My in-laws Toyota is at 230k original timing belt miles.
My Ecoboost is supposed to have a belt replacement at 150000 miles or 10 years. I cannot fathom how it is supposed to hold up that long.
I hate Ford Ecoboost with all of my soul. I drive a Focus Ecoboost with a fucking rubber timing belt running inside the oil, no way to check it but Ford says it should last 10 years or 240.000 km. Well.. mine lasted for 7 years and 117.000 km and with it slowly crumbling and destroying the engine.
My 1.0 eco boost is on its third engine at only 80k due to Ford’s brilliant oil soaked timing belt time bomb
