    Thank you brother, I’m dealing with the issue again after they have replaced the belt and belt tensioner the first time. I will take the info to dealer and request to pay for these parts out of pocket since the issue is so annoying when dailying the taco.

    My truck just started doing this on sat after some wheeling up in big bear. Did the dealer hassle you guys because the engine bay was dirty.

    As I have also experienced the same thing after wheeling the first trip down to the deal in February I cleaned the taco up pretty, as it was recommended by friends who work there. For the reason being Toyota would not hassle you or some how void the warranty to blame the fix on your end.

    Yeah I’ve heard and read a few stories about Toyota denying warranties. Did you clean the engine bay or just the outside of the truck? I have an appointment for sat for the fuel pump recall and was thinking of having them looking into the squeal.

    I legit have the SAME issue on my 19 OR with about 40k miles. Doesn't happen all the time.. just seems to start when the truck is good and warm or RPMs pick up from Highway speeds.

    Just started about 2 weeks ago, and I am going to have the dealer take a look when I am getting the Fuel pump recall done.

    Any one else think it is crazy a lot of us are having this issue all of the sudden?

    Fuel Pump is a Recall.. So it is covered regardless.
