Engine noise

I bought my truck July 9th with 32,300 miles, it started making a ticking noise took it in to Jeff Hunter here in Waco. First the guy told me these Tacoma's lifter make a loud noise all the time,
I wanted to make sure. Needless to say they kept it for 5 days there was a vacuum pump out in the engine and the rear drums had to be replaced. I am hearing a loud engine noise again and vibration when idling. My rep told me that is normal, I think I need a 2nd opinion! Any one else have any ideas?

The injectors enter a cleaning cycle at idle and can be kinda noisy.

 

I will, later this weekend. It makes me nervous, I am familiar with engine knocks and lifters tapping. My Dad is a ASE Certified mechanic of 48 yrs. I havent had him listen to it yet though

 

It is almost a shake when idling! The noise is constant during running and idling almost like a knock. I am just worried!

 

Mine ticked on the showroom floor when I picked it up and still ticks. "its normal". Some days louder than others.

 

Part of the reason I traded in my v6. Too much noise coming from under the hood.

 

Mine is noisey too, was told it was normal.

 

Same thing mine is doing. I bought my 2018 3 weeks with 9k miles on the odometer. It was CPO (certified) and the 100k/10 yr started the day I signed the deal. I am not a bit worried about it at this point. Considering the engine is Atkinson cycle, I would suspect that it attributes to the oddness of the idle and shut down shake. The noise in the valve train could possible the the cams drive chain. BTW, this is the very first Toyota in our family. I was a Ford guy, had a hard pass on the new Ranger. Not for me.

 

Direct injection could be the source of the tick you are hearing. Loader than valve train and chain noise.

 

The 1GR in the 2nd gen was worse - the bucket valve lifters chattered like a diesel.

 

My 2016 has noisy days as well. The sound varies with outside temp.

 

Worst case, it's still under the powertrain warranty...

 

YES exactly, some days it is louder than other! This feed back is so helpful!! Thank you

 

I am going to take it to the Toyota the next city over Temple to get them to look over it before it hits the 36,000 I am adding the additional warranty next month to make sure.

 

This Texas heat may have something to do with it. The truck came from Tavernier Key, Florida it should be used to the heat and humidity lol

 

That is what I kept saying!! It sounded like a diesel, I was like why and how in the world does this V6 sound like this! I am so glad I joined this group the input and feed back is awesome!

 

I hear ya, my Dad is an ASE certified mechanic with over 45 yrs being from Texas were are a straight up CHEVY/ GM family. My Mom had a tiny Toyota truck back in the 80's, that we always road in the back to go to town lol!! Thank you for responding!!

 

Powertrain warranty goes to 5 yrs / 60k miles

 

The oil viscosity is higher at lower temperature. That affects the normal ticking of lifters at cold start. Cooler == quieter.

Mine ticks, but not after the engine has done work and pumped oil everywhere.

If it kept clicking, I wouldn't think twice about it, but if that turned into a clacking, I'd get Toyota involved.
