    Just done my 120K maintenance on my 2013 Tundra and every time you go into the dealership they always give you a full list of other things needing attention.

    *DRIVE BELT : REPLACE ENGINE DRIVE BELT 11/03/2023 $224.68

    I am always having hard time trusting the dealer so my question is, when do you change the engine drive belt? Is that on the maintenance schedule or is there a suggested practice? Is that more a preventive measure or just wait and see? I don't mind doing it if is a must as I am pretty religious about taking care of my cars and maintaining them properly.

    Can you gents please advise and I really appreciate it

    Replace if it squeals, slips, looks cracked, breaks, or just change @ 100k miles so you don’t have to worry about it.

    If it hasn't been done yet, it needs done. If its original it's 11 years old and has given you a good run. But it should be replaced along with the tensioner.
