    Hi my names Grant. Bought an '05 trd pre-runner 4x2 access cab last Nov. Hate it so far. Paid too much for it. It only had 84000 when I got it but as we all know... that damn driveline vibration is just a kickin'. Dealership told me twice even after new tires that it's 'normal' PHAHA! Dicks! They never once mentioned the service bulletin put out for those in 2014. BTW how could they wait so long to put that out??? Anyways, I've got a front wheel HUB going out now too. Valves sound terrible as well. Hoping to sort some of this out through this website. CHEERS!!

    Hate to hear you are having trouble. You should check out the 3rd gen forum I think you would fit in nicely over there.

    Welcome.

    That valve noise is probably just the normal 1GR tick and chatter.

    The ticks I get. That's how tacos are. But this is coming from driver's side down low. Especially noisy when cold. Sounds like a thick deck of cards being flipped.

    Yeah. Had it to dealership... Again. Turns out a couple wheels were out of balance. Dumb guys a bought the tires from didn't do a great job I suppose. It's a little better obviously but still get that wobble in bed from dead stop. Def have a right front bearing going loud though
