4.o v6 engine noise

2013 with 4.0 v6 engine has same noise I have been reading about .Seems to be on left side .Have 27,000 miles on it & noise has always been there . Don't know if it will last or not . Does anyone have same engine with more miles that still has the noise . Would like to keep it if I can get maybe 100,000 out of it . THANKS

 

I would be more worried if your motor wasn't making noise when it was running.

Edit: in all seriousness, im assuming your talking about a ticking? If so its Normal.

 

Its most likely the Toyota tick. Become one with the tick and it will treat you right. www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ticking-engine-one-fix.43632/

 

If your Tacoma is not chirping, rattling or ticking, check your tach! Most likely the engine has died, and will require restarting.

 

Many of us have considerably more miles than that on our Tacos. Almost 180k here and no issues with the engine besides normal maintenance.

 

Could you describe the ruckus?

 

If it’s ticking, it’s most likely normal. Most Tacoma motors are noisy. Mine has 71k miles and is noisy. Sometimes more noisy when really cold.

 

Does it sound like a knock? I have this issue before it reaches operating temp. It sounds like the engine is running too lean upon warm up, but that is only a guess.

 

Our trucks making unknown noises? No way......
