Gates 95-01 Toyota Tacoma / 01-04 Toyota Tundra Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

Gates is a well-known name for reliable engine components, and this Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump is a prime example of their commitment to keeping your vehicle running smoothly. If you're working on a 1995-2001 Toyota Tacoma, or even a 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra or 1995-1998 Toyota T100, this kit is designed to address a critical maintenance interval for your engine.

When it's time to replace your timing belt, it's often recommended to swap out other wear items in the same area to prevent future issues. This kit bundles the essential parts you'll need, including the timing belt itself, tensioners, idler pulleys, and crucially, the water pump. The timing belt keeps your engine's camshaft and crankshaft synchronized, ensuring the valves open and close at the right time. A failing water pump can lead to overheating, which can cause severe engine damage. By replacing them together, you're saving yourself potential headaches and ensuring the longevity of your engine.

This kit includes a Gates PowerGrip® timing belt, known for its durability and precise fit. You'll also find the necessary tensioners and idler pulleys, all made to Gates' standards to ensure smooth operation and proper belt tension. The included water pump is a direct replacement, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for coolant flow and sealing. Having all these components in one package simplifies the job, ensuring you have the right parts on hand for a comprehensive repair. It's a solid option for anyone looking to perform this important engine service correctly the first time.
