    This truck is 11 years old so I expect it to have issues. I need to replace the driveshaft ujoints and main bearing. The belt also squeaks so I need to replace that. This noise it's making while running though, I have no idea what it is. Perhaps am exhaust manifold leak? I am just looking for advice on it.

    Sounds like the average Toyota 4.0 to me, maybe just a slight knock hard to tell on video but they are all noisy since they have solid buckets instead of hydraulic lash adjusters.

    Sounds like your typical 4.0, but in the beginning, and get almost sounded like a manifold leak, but that’s just a guess

    OP, drive it like you stole it. Sounds like every Tacoma I’ve ever heard.
