Serpentine Drive Belt Replacement on a 2011 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma with the 4.0L V6 engine.

Take of the front skid plate and do this job from under the truck. It's 10 times easier. Use a roll of shop towels for a comfortable pillow 😌. Oh another thing! There's a small hole on the bottom of the tensioner. Take a skinny L shaped Allen screw and release the tension. Once you release the tension, stick that L shaped Allen key in the hole. That will hold the tensioner back. Once the new belt is put back in place, release the tension and pull out the L shaped Allen key and done.

I like bottom method , quick removal of skid plate . Thanks for upper install vid .

3:00 was the best when you shoved the diagram down

lol, at the 10:00 minute mark is the moment he realizes..."Ooops, I forgot to go over the fan first". I probably would have done the same. I have to do this soon, thanks for the video.

Had an idea for those nerdier guys here. If you have a discord or video chat app on your phone and you have a buddy with you, you could stream from one phone to the other to see a little easier where your belts going. Imma try it friday. I'll lyk. Great video man. Very easy. Appreciate it.

The last thing you did on removal was route it over the fan, so the first thing on replacement would be to route it back over the fan to keep it simple.

Your video gave me the confidence to take this on myself. Thanks!

I would like to express my gratitude for posting the instructional video on how to replace a belt. I appreciate your videos. Since I know I will be installing a new belt, I am wondering if I should simply cut out the old belt. I am also grateful that you included the part in the video where you struggled with the installation. This way, if I have a meltdown and cannot install the belt, I will know that it was not easy for you either. Often when I watch a video, the person completes the task in seconds, which makes me wonder why I bother attempting to do things myself.

Nice work my belt just broke today so will do mine soon, i took a pic of ur paper.

Good job' gonna do mine tomorrow, I removed the radiator and fan shroud and the bottom skid plate to give me more room. Can't believe you did that without hearing a few damns and a couple of shits on the side .Thanks much!!!

only video I can find of someone doing this from the top. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this video great job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I’m going to replace my today

Great detailed video. The diagram was very helpful. Much appreciated. Thanks brother

Thank you very much on how to change serpentine belt , I will be doing it your way on my Taco 🤠

Hey man thanks a lot brother ,saved me a little cash and boosted my confidence 🙏🤙

Thanks for sharing this video great job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That view inside the engine Bay helps a lot! I paid someone to do this for me but I just wanted to see what I was paying for.

Awesome video man. Thanks ALOT!!!

Great Video! Thanks

Thanks a lot for the vidio!! I'll help me to replace mine!!

Thanks, I will do this soon, I know it will not be easy

thanks friend for diagram of band✌️✌️

Thank you!

Thank you You Are Good.

Just checking, if you replace the tensioner pulley that is the only pulley that has a reverse thread is that right and the other 3 are standard direction left to loosen?

This is a Good video

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks for this video. I'll try to do this my self. So is just one belt that goos around ac water pump and alternator??

Great

How many belts does this have altogether? Is it just serpentine belt and then the timing chain?

I took off the skid plate and did mine from the bottom ...so much more room for my hands.

What kind of miles before seeing belt cracks…?

Wondering wen you were going to figure out you have to rap it around the fan first

that was some great video. It just seems like that belt does not provide enough traction to the water pump pulley. I wonder if slippage on the water pump pulley could cause these Tacoma belts to have a shortened life. One of the very few times Id ever question the Toyota engineers.

Honestly, you’re not saving the old belt just cut it once it’s off. If you aren’t keeping it as a backup no point in wasting the effort. I keep a new belt in my truck as a spare in the seat compartments and tools just in case

The way he used that ratchet sounded terrible
