What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Which sensors are you talking about?

 

Parking sensors?

 

Blind-spot monitoring sensors in the back that notify of a vehicle in your blind spot. Not to be confused with the back-up sensors. Only exist on trucks with the tech package.

 

BSM sensors are in the corners of the inside of the rear bumper, correct?

Just making sure he didn't wipe the parking sensors thinking they were responsible for the BSM.

 

You sure it's not the LCAs?

Today's addition!

 

I saw a thread about a howling noise being the A arm or something in the front suspension. It has some holes in it that act like a bottle would when you blow air across it. I haven't tried the quick fix, which is duct taping the holes shut lol.

 

You are correct...Tech package has two different sensors (back up which are visible through the exterior of the rear bumper) and BSM that are in the interior of the rear bumper.

Here is what we dealt with and possibly all week.

This kind of noise?

 

I have that same noise with wind. :/

 

yup been there and tested that lmao

 

yep thats it

 

I've had the same problem with the whistling on the drivers side.

I believe it may be the side mirror.

Mine was whistling at around 70 to 80
So I pulled on the side of the road and folded my mirror in for about 10 miles and the whistling had stop.

I think it's a certain way the wind hits the mirror that causes that noise. Haven't figured out how to fix that but gonna take it in to the dealer see what they tell me.

 

When you order the bumper with the center hoop only, you get the shorter one like mine. The taller hoop comes with the bull bar option.

 

It bolts directly to the frame...

 

Nothing on the lights. That's how the IR lights are from Rigid Industries. These are factory.

 

I got a great deal on it from truckalterations.com. I had seen that they offered Tacomaworld deals on previous generations so i emailed them sales@truckalterations.com and asked. I got it for $370 including shipping. Did everything through email and paid through paypal. you can call too 800-958-7576.

 

Good Luck. Need a drimmel tool. Had to cut mine all up to keep it from rubbing but works for now. It is just tight on this new model style.

 

Thanks for the heads-up!

 

I have the exact same noise but will sound even more intense and loud.

I tried folding in my drivers side mirror and it seemed to reduced the noise to very minimal. Not sure if that's what it was or just coincidence but it's worth a try? I say try driving a couple miles with the mirror in to see if does reduce or stop the noise.

Seems to only make that noise when the wind hits it from a certain direction.
