I have a 2001 toyota tundra, i just bought from the dealer with 34,000 miles on it. i like Toyota anything, but one thing i don't like about my full size truck's V-6 motor is the fact that it uses an internal timing belt(?) because of my not so good credit, i am paying what the truck cost new, even though it is nearly 4 years old. since that is the case, i want to make the truck last as long as i can. is there a timing CHAIN conversion kit? or a timing GEAR conversion kit? i would rather spend some $ now, rather than lots more $$$ later. does anyone know if there is a such thing?
Timing chain conversion kit for 3.4 V-6?

you don't need to worry about the belt. it will last.
after you pay on the truck (promptly) for about a year, and keep the same job for about that long, you could re-finance the truck at a lending institution that will give you a reasonable interest rate. that way you only pay the higher rate for one year. this will also help you to rebuild your credit. if you have any charge-offs on your credit, offer to pay them if they remove their negative credit information from your credit report. a few may refuse the offer, but most, if not all, will agree.....they want their money above all else. I worked at a bank a few years ago.
opinions will vary, jk
The 3.4l V6 engine is a non-interference design, so even if it should happen to let go, you won't get any engine damage
Hey dumb s*it, why did you even bring up the bad credit if you didn't want any comments on it? I was just trying to help.
