2000 Toyota Tundra V6 5VZ-FE got towed in for sudden loss of power and unable to start so first I check for fuel pump operation and pressure. Seems right. Truck also has 125,000mi so maybe the timing belt snapped. Pulled the timing belt cover to see this.
Did the idler pulley suddenly fail and lost all it's marbles?
Nope. (Don't mind the dirt I threw the water pump into a dirt pile.)
A failed water pump impeller shattered causing the water pump to lock up wiping out the whole belt.
