Is your 4.0 V6 noisy?

I like the loud engine - tells other drivers to move out of the way when I'm on the throttle. The engine just needs 0.6 more liters and two more cylinders.

 

if you think its loud. check out the new engines in the 4runners. those scream on start up. makes the my taco sound like a hybrid on startup

 

My 3.4 sounds like the farting of unicorns and minotaur burps and rainbows.

 

Only thing I hear is the fan when it's first started but my old 3L did that too sounds like a leaf blower.

 

Is that code? Gay Taco?

 

it's a truck. no big deal.

 

Psh.

Don't be jelly the 4.0 doesnt sound like mythical creatures.

 

My Taco is very loud... It probably wouldnt be as loud if I didnt love hearing the violent scream through my magnaflow exhaust of SUPERCHARGER being raped at the revlimiter... But thats just me, to each their own.

 

The ticking is typical since this engine has the direct acting mechanical buckets for cam and valves. I run amsoil asl 5w-30 it helped some, but did not totally get rid of the noise. Ask Toyota to make the dang engine with roller followers and hydraulic lash adjuster.

 

The ticking? That's normal. I've gotten used to it.

And it does sound like a diesel at times, figured it's the closest I'd ever get to a legal hilux

 

Hmmm this thread is making me consider a 4th gen 4runner with that smooth quiet V8

But seriously, was the 3.4 in the 1st gen quieter?

 

It has a nice roar to it when you get on the gas.

 

Honestly, I think it's louder

 

Sadly, I have never ridden in 1st gen.

 

x2 my 2001 F250 7.3 is

 

i think i need to take my truck back.... only time i can really hear it is when the hood is up.

 

Just drive with it down

 

thats what i was thinking. but how will i know if it is running?

 

Minus the ticking I think that the 4.0 is pretty quiet, quieter than the 3.4 in my 4Runner. But then again, this is coming from a guy who drives diesel farm tractors as a part time job

 

To be honest, if I can make mine last to 500k miles, I don't care how loud it is. If the "tick" is just a Toyota thing, I can live with it.

I called my buddy who has a 2004 V8 4runner and his sister has a V6 4Runner, they both said they have "ticky" motors.
