Most 4 banger DOHC motors are belt driven and will blow up if that belt breaks. I changed the TB in my modded turbo Eclipse every 45k just to be safe.

If you want proof of the 3.4 being non-interference then just search this site and you'll see that there is nothing on a 3.4 motor blowing up because of TB or water pumps failing and this site has been around for 7 years now so most common problems have been documented with Toyota trucks.

That's almost exactly what I did.

Kinda the same story here in fort collins. My battery melted down in the middle of the night in an intersection, and i had six drunk college students come out of no where and help me push it to a side road. And then they left before I could even thank them. College towns are pretty cool.
