    Thanks Jim for the info. I took it all apart again to replace that darn dust cover. While i was in there i rechecked the timing twice more to ensure proper timing. I just now tried to start the truck and it turns over but wont run. Not sure where to go from here. If i do take it to a shop, i should avoid a dealer and use a local shop? I feel like a dealer would be better, but then again i am the guy that made my truck not start so what do I know.

    Darn. You may want to start a new thread on this to get some more visibility.

    I believe that if the crank and/or cam position sensor is disconnected or in the wrong place it may cause a no-start but I'm running out of ideas.

    Someone else started a similar thread yesterday:https://www.tundras.com/threads/after-timing-belt-change-crank-no-start.142242/

    Here is my easy workaround in case you have already released the timing belt tensioner but need to remove and / or reinstall the timing belt.

    From underneath the truck loosen the two bolts that hold the tensioner from the underside. Do not remove them, but back them out enough so that the belt is only slightly snug

    Then remove the driver side idler pulley

    when reinstalling, get the belt in place and then reinstall the idler pulley. Then tighten down the 2 tensioner bolts

    Reinstalling the belt with this method turned out to be much easier and quicker than the original install method for me

    PS I missed the part about not removing the rear AC compressor bolts, but learned that on my own after I had to go back to fix a coolant leak.
    Much much quicker and easier this way

    Did anyone replace the radiator when replacing the timing belt? Is that something that should be replaced or strongly considered during the belt install?

    Thanks...

    I would strongly consider it. Several parts you should consider having a 100-150k mile life. OEM LBJ and its bolts, radiator, timing belt, water pump come to mind.

    Thanks. I will be doing the timing belt (Aisin kit) soon and will be replacing all the recommended stuff, including all the little water bypass hoses. The radiator seems to be in good shape but have also considered replacing it just because. However, I know I can replace the radiator anytime.

    Do you'll go with the Toyota radiator or some aftermarket stuff? I was looking at the OEM radiator and was going to order it since Toyota had an extra 20% off discount (discount just ended). If OEM is best then I will wait for Toyota to have another discount event.

    Denso is OEM, you can lookup your all part numbers on available OEM parts they made for our trucks www.densoautoparts.com

    I highly recommend to avoid buying from scAmazon or fleaBay, not only due to the knockoff concerns, but because of shipping damage. Summit Racing or RockAuto are better choices.

    Which part number you choose will depend on your cab type. Double Cab is the part ending in '18', the part number ending in '17' is for Access Cab/Regular Cab. Inspect the radiator carefully for damage on arrival, at all bibs and seams.

    Also, I've heard some people mention the latest part version may have different side/mount rails, but it's possible to retrofit the original (and supposedly more-sturdy) factory rails onto the replacement radiator. I think the new ones use nutserts or something?

    Edit:
    (Didn't realize Aisin Had installation instructions in box. It mentions nothing about going counter clockwise on tundra until 2009 model.)
    I've got my parts in. Mileage isn't at 90K since last belt change, but has been 10 years so getting ready to change it all.
    I worked as mechanic 30 years ago so I have an idea what I'm doing.
    Just a few questions.
    I've watched most of these videos.
    Is this step chiltons mentions for the mid-2006 correct? No videos mention it, and its the only place I have seen it mentioned?
    All the videos mention putting the cam marks on the "T".
    But the chiltons guide states:(number 1 would put it on the timing "T." I have no idea on the number 2 below.)
    2005 and 2006 models only 19 Temporarily reinstall the crankshaft pulley and bolt. Immobilize the pulley and tighten the bolt, then:

    1. On 2005 models, turn the crankshaft approximately 50-degrees clockwise (a little more than 1/8-turn, which is 45-degrees) from TDC. When positioned properly, the timing mark should be aligned with an imaginary line running through the crankshaft pulley bolt through the no. 2 idler pulley bolt.
    2. On 2006 models, turn the crankshaft approximately 50-degrees counterclockwise (a little more than 1/8-turn, which is 45-de-grees) from TDC (see illustration).
    Thanks in advance.

    Instead of answering question regarding Chilton's way, simply suggest the link below that we share often when it comes to getting the marks correct.
