Need to have mine changed along with water pump and other things. Anyone have any mechanic reccomendations? Also, how much will this cost me?

You sure it doesn't have a chain?

Tundra 2000-2004 V6 Belt
2000-2009 4.7 V8 Belt
2005-2014 V6 Chain
2007-2014 5.7 V8 Chain
2010-2014 4.6 V8 Chain
Between $600 to $900 depending on engine and labor rate is my guess.

I've taken mine to a Toyota dealer to have that work done. Private mechanics charge as much so do the work as the dealership and I trust my dealer more than someone who might be doing their first Toyota timing belt.

Take mine to A Car Automotive. Did a good and job reasonably priced.

I'm at 135k on my 2006 Tundra. Have only done oil changes, tires, brakes, and filters.
Too late to get the timing belt replaced?

NO! Change it ASAP
Timing belts are one thing you should be very religious about changing per the owners manual. If the belt breaks the valves drop and the engine will eat itself. DO NOT IGNORE TIMING BELT CHANGES

This is correct.

Just wanted to say, if you're capable of doing brake pads, you're likely capable of doing the T belt.
My last vehicle required em at 60k mile intervals. My current vehicle at 105k.
If you buy the Gates brand timing belt kit you can do it in under 6 hours or so for the cost of parts.
The only issue is that the 4.7 toyota motor IS an interference engine. If the belt lets go, you have about a 50% chance of destroying the top end of the engine.
My vote, do it yourself, do it correctly. Buy either a gates kit or oem parts. You do NOT want a Mitsuboshi belt!

If you've had it nine years what's the big deal to spend nine hundred to have this work done by a Toyota mechanic. You do it yourself and something goes south - not good.

Bohn Brothers Toyota did mine a few years back for a little over 800.00 and that included the water pump. I think 80k is what the book says but when I called the mechanic, he said to do it at 120k. The dealer was cheaper than other shops I called.

Most established shops are prepared for and have done timing belt changes fairly regularly. You will definitely pay more at the dealer, but it is an average job that the dealerships know is done anywhere so they are not unreasonable. It should run you about 6-800. depending on the cost of the pump. It isn't a hard job, I would do it on a truck because of the room. I brought it to a shop for my cars because it was too tight and that requires different tools. I didn't want to fight it. That is the big difference. Most shops are between 40-80 an hour so 4-5 hr job with parts is about right.

It would be pretty intimidating for a first timer

If you get a shop (non dealer) to perform I highly recommend bringing them an OEM belt.
Glad my 4Runner has a chain, can't believe the put belts in a Tundra...they aren't that much louder.

Belts are awesome for timing. They don't stretch and hold timing perfectly until they fail. Being quiet is just a bonus.
Change them at the scheduled intervals and they won't fail.

This. Toyota OEM parts FTW

I had mine changed at about 130000 and had first tune up then too.
I will not let Supreme Toyota in Hammond touch my truck. I have caught their service department twice doing things I thought unscrupulous. I didn't even carry my truck back there for the various recalls.

However you get it done, this is the most important part.

I admittedly know nothing about auto repairs. Didn't know if this was something that if you didn't replace as suggested, it was better just to leave it.
I love my Tundra...so I'll be calling a mechanic soon to inquire. Surprised that the Toyota dealership didn't try and throw it on me when I had a recall check done last month.
