    I have a 2nd get tacoma, had a dash grunt since I got the truck. Wonder if anyone could help me find out what it is? It only happens sometimes, the noise gets louder when I turn the wheel.

    Check the intake tube going into the fender. The foam may be worn or missing.

    grunt
    /ɡrənt/

    verb
    1. (of an animal, especially a pig) make a low, short guttural sound.

      noun

      a low, short guttural sound made by an animal or a person.

      Well in this case this noise would be coming from the dashboard, in this case a dash grunt.
