tick.tick.tick

Ever since my truck was new 2008 trd off road dcab 4x4 purchased 4-5-08.i have had this engine tick even on acelleration i here it with my windows down my truck is going in friday for the rear leaf spring tsb should i have the dealer look at it or is it normal only problem is i am afraid thay may say somthing about the secondary air filter delete and the afe drop in air filter.it been ticking sence new and just done the secondary filter delete a month ago but lately it seems worse. what should i do.

 

sorry kubota man but the the tick is normal on these engines

 

Have the dealer check TSB (EG046-06 AUG 06 Intake System - Air Intake Hose Rattle). Also, check out this...http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/problems-dealer-service/41821-tap-tap-tap-away.html

 

I have a question about that myself. I installed the AFE Dry, do I need to remove that other secondary filter now?

 

I think this was talked about and the removal of the secondary benfited mostly the 4 cly engine.

ON the 6, it was not worth the efforts in the gain, and/or did not also affect the tick noise.


Like it or not, it normal for this vehicle. Just ignore it and enjoy.

 

I have the 6 so thanks. The tick don't bother me I'm used to it on Taco's.

 

Now that I know it's normal, it doesn't bother me. I thought it was defective, so I was frantic about the fact that I bought a lemon.

Now the engine is ticking along fine. Works just like a clock and isn't the ticking time bomb that I thought it was.

The sound deosn't tick me off anymore. If fact, I'm tickled pink about the truck.

 

when i start my truck (09 access cab v6) and roll forward a few feet i get a tick (just one). its only in drive, not in reverse. is this the same thing you guys are talking about?

 

My 99 did that and many other tacomas do it to i have heard it called the toyota tick by a few different people!

 

yeah its the valves from the overhead cams toyota is a little noisy. no big deal.

 

but not in all cases.

 

Mine was lifter tappin!

 

Was it fixed under warranty? I have a 2.7L that taps.

I've never had any tapping/ticking/whatever. I'm lucky. The noise posted above me would make me wanna strangle someone.

 

haha i wish it was on my 1999 taco w/ 148,000 miles on it!!

 

Is there a TSB for this?

 

sorry i can't ansewer that.... I don't know... I shure somebody will hang in there!

 

I know a lot of folks have V6 4.0L that taps, but mines the 4 cylinder 2.7L I have heard of a few folks who have the same problem as mine. Hopefully someone will get theirs done under warranty and let me know what was wrong.

 

I hope so, good luck, and if i find out i will let you know!!!
