WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE MYSTERIOUS TICKING NOISE!

so what is it ?

 

You were close, wasn't the radiator mount

but a metal bracket that holds the front grille, facia, and headlight.
Somehow the 10mm bolt that connects that bracket to the body of the truck got loose enough that made the clicking noise.

@tacoma16 can vouch that it's loud enough that he heard it without issues over the phone.






Thanks for the help guys.
sorry @pete37 won't be buy new suspension just yet

 

didn't know we have a telephone hot line support... but good to know!

PS. Telephone hotline support only comes with TeC membership

 

Guess i'm just a dumb consumer. just diagnosed a sticky calliper with a warped rotor, makes a wild shake sometimes only 30K on it to...

 

lol,

Common problem on tacos, that's why they need service often. Reman calipers do often have better pistons and boots to my surprise.

 

Well good to know now I guess. The only thing I knew before was to flush the fluid every 60k miles as water builds up and seizes them which is why I had to replace them when I bought it.

 

i'm at 60k how do i do this?

 

mall crawls don't count

 

its 100k for us Canadians or 60k miles from what toyota told me

 

oh good, i'm safe for another year

 

Toyota's book interval for brake service is every 2 years. Mud can shorten that drastically as with any brake design.

Toyota specifies a brake fluid flush every 4 years for 2nd gen, and every 3 years for 3rd gen. Brake fluid degrades more with time than with mileage - it's true even for fluid in an unsealed bottle stored on a shelf.

If you install steel braided brake lines, brake fluid flush is no extra effort - just pump the pedal until the fluid coming out of the bleeder looks new.

 

Ya, I don't have braided so took the shortcut and sucked the resi til just over the main line port,,,refill clean, drive 10k kms repeat. Not the purist but more than most do.

Did mine at 100k kms

 

I'm stopping by 4wp tomarrow if anyone has something to pick up let me know.

 

Wash both buggies and first window sticker




Not as clean as @daks but black looks best clean

 

This community sure is diffrent.
We used to take pics of how dirty we can get. And stay back in the day of jeep king's.

 

Will this suffice?

 

Average Tacoma owner IQ is slightly higher than average Heep owner. We only go into mud if necessary





jeep vs toyota

 

Now that's better.
I'm still new but when I get going with the taco thing there will be mudd.

If this covid thing ever goes away......

 

@tgelata and @Norilsk is offroading while i set up for Overlanding
