Timing belt master thread/sticky?

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
