    If your truck has a timing chain you might want to check and see if it needs to be replaced. My old truck use to make a noise that sounded like it was pinging but turned out the chain needed to be replaced.

    V6 or I4? 5 lug mini or 6 lug 4x4 PreRunner? Fill out your profile so we don't have to ask you every time you have a question.
