I'm at the 120,000 mile mark on my Runner. I owned a Toy pick-up prior to this and at the same mile marker I started getting a sewing machine sound. It turned out to be the idler bearing. A mechanic buddy of mine changed it for me while I was TDY and so I never got into that part of the truck. I was back in the states last week and bought all the parts I need to include the water pump. Might as well change everything in there. Anyone have an idea on how long this work will take? I don't have a lot of spare time at this point so I have to be sure I can finish what I start. I'm also trying to put my fender flares on soon and I'll submit a photo of that when installed. Here she is now.

 

Gee that truck looks familiar. It didn't look that clean though last time seen it You'll have to let me know how the install on them parts go. Sorry I can't help ha I haven't done crap to my 3.0 cept change the plugs. Good luck to ya. Curious to see them flares
