Great job, Jack. Kudos to your dexterity at replacing those belts whilst filming one-handed. Once again, truck is in amazing shape for a 22 year old vehicle.

Thank you! I’m actually working on a better system for recording so I can set up the camera and get a good steady shot without having to hold it. It’s just hard to find something that works in an engine bay! But I bought a new piece of equipment for that and I’ll be testing it out in my next video so we’ll see how it goes.

@@jackhfletcherDoes the ratcheting wrench have enough grab and it won't slip of the adjuster for the power steering belt? I have tried other wrenches and they slip they don't fit properly. If the ratcheting wrench works with our slipping I will buy a set

I watched your video, and it gave me the confidence to change the Alternator belt on my Mom’s 1995 Toyota Tacoma. It only took a few hours. Thank you from Washington State.

This was a VERY helpful video that my grandson and I watched prior to changing our '98 Taco belts. There were lots of good tips. I will add one: Because the housing of the Alternator is aluminum and it is mounted to steel, galvanic corrosion "welds" the alternator to the mount making it quite difficult to break loose as you pointed out. We had trouble with that and decided to use a tin snip to cut the old belt. That allowed us to use the tensioning screw to move the alternator from its original position to a position that would have tightened the belt. Doing so broke it loose and after that it was very easy to move it. Thanks again for the great video! It made the job much easier using the tips you supplied.

I read equally well right-side up and upside-down, but my coworkers do not. I was thoroughly admonished about installing machine belts right side up, as you can easily read the part number to go to the parts room to get the belts. Considering the staggering number of belts in the average USPS Digital Bar Code Sorter, it's a reasonable ask. Now it's force of habit that the number goes on the belt, and on the deck if the part numbers have worn away between the 1990s and today. (First generation was 1990, last generation was about 23 years ago, so that's most of them.) I now do facilities, where everything is one-off, so visible part #s and notes are mandatory as I have over 150 facilities I travel to.

I believe you have to remove the skid plate to access the bottom bolt/nut for the alternator. I don’t think this truck had a skid plate but if yours does, then I would remove it.

Excellent video. I have just acquired a 2000 Tacoma since my brother became an expat for a startup company and realized it was cheaper to buy a couple cars in Germany than ship his 23 year old truck across the Atlantic with only a smidge of clearcoat and plenty of scuffs at 190k. It's 32 degrees out. I am a mechanic by trade, but nothing is more valuable than see then do for me. Once I know where and what, it cuts the time down that I'll spend in the cold. I also primarily work on European cars, so it will be weird for the engineering to make sense. 😂
