    I haven't noticed any howl. Is it a manual tranny thing or just autos diff?

    My trucks pretty new but so far it seems the autos are having all the trouble.

    I have a manual, differential howls. Didn't show up until after a couple, maybe a few thousand miles.

    Doesn't matter what gear you're in (not dependent on RPM).

    55-60 MPH, light throttle/decel.

    V6 MT.

    According to this poll about half of the trucks have the howl. If that's the case for all Tacos sold, wouldn't want to be Toyota right now! Of course the poll numbers are probably high because a lot of people come to this forum when they have problems.

    The good news is that there's more than enough people for a class action suit. After we give them a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem, obviously.

    Hope it doesn't come to that! Something like that could take years!

    Agreed. Until Toyota comes up with a definitive fix, the howler stays where it is.

    Is the howl everyone expierencing, manifest over time?
    Starts off during deceleration and works itself into acceleration?

    It's definitely been a progression for my rig - started off as decel only, and has worked it's way to light accel.
    Not to mention it's louder than before. I can hear it easily with the radio at half volume.

    Edit: Did I just describe feathering? LOL

    Right now mine just happens around 50-60mph when feathering the throttle. Which is what you do on a 55mph road once you reach speed.

    I didn't notice mine until almost 10k miles. And it's still pretty faint on decel only. However, as others here are saying, it gradually gets worse.

    Not disputing that at all.
    How the problem arises and then manifests, can be clues of the root cause.

    Everyone check their fluid levels?
