Does a Tacoma become a Rattle Trap with Time and Mileage?

90,457 miles on my 2007 other than a lift and bigger tires still drives just as tight as she did coming off the lot. no rattles or noises except for the rear fender liners when of road. i feel like I've broken some clips on them.

 

BS, I highly doubt there is a 2012 with that many miles on it!

 

got around 44k on mine now, not sure if this is normal but at times IF I don't have the brake pedal to the floor my truck seems to shake. makes me think it's going to stall or just turn off. Other than my leaf springs I don't hear any rattling really.

 

I never said it was on my 2012.

 

i had a rattle on the dash on my 02 prerunner. i took a block of rubber and wedged it between the dash and windshield, problem solved. that was 8 years ago and the rubber is still there.

 

mines 05 with 120k miles and the only sound I get is a TICK from the headliner towards the windshield when I go over bumps n stuff

 

My '08 makes lots of creaking noise from the door seals driving on flat smooth road.

 

2005 TACOMA 4x4 V6, 190K no rattle, blew my head gasket, since the replacement of all gaskets, timing chain, redid my cylinder heads, and pistons. It has been running like a brand new truck! I tell ya YOTA don't ever die!

 

I have the same problem with my 08'. I wiped the seals with some spray silicone and I'd say it got rid of 90% of the creaking.

 

303 Aerospace Protectant works well

 

Thanks guys I'll try that

 

just buy ear plugs, all sounds disappear ,or turn up stereo.

 

you have a very nice truck , me like, me like alot

 

Hey Oz, did you find that product at a retailer (i.e. Canadian Tire, NAPA)??

 

I got it at my local auto parts store , UAP

 

Let me guess, it mostly happens when its a little colder? That noise is from the window clips on the top of the windshield. There are two clips on the top, one on each side. There is a TSB for it which you can just do yourself. Basically break the end of the plastic clips off. There is no need for them as the window is already sealed on.

 

'05 DCSB with 170K and cabin still as quiet as new. The outside back fenders rattle a little going over bumps. The cheap liners over the wheels that are loose and hitting the body.

 

Had a rattle from the console during the test drive...told the dealer...it was gone the next morning when I bought the truck. Still quiet...

 

HHmmm rattle trap.....makes me wanna hit the lake

 

if you don't want it to rattle, don't buy a nice audio system and subs. That shit tore my truck up....


oh ya, don't intentionally drive over the biggest rock you find. that helps too
