The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Have a very similar issue at the same speed and also again at 45mph. It seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Truck is a stock '14, only 10k miles. Thought of flipping the driveshaft and seeing if it changed.

 

Yeah that! Its the green sticker mobile one bottle at Wally world.

hmm, I am about to crawl under the truck to see what's going on. I also lied. There is no vibration. Just the noise. I must have added it on my own haha.

 

Ok, popped the hood and there is some kind of leak. Looks to be oil and fairly fresh. I checked the level and its fine but ill go spray the engine bay down tonight and then change it out. I don't have much time now days so I might have to go see what the dealer says. You think they would warranty the work as the truck only has 40k on it? Haha

 

Eh, I wouldn't count on the warranty work unfortunately.

Mine is also a noise (not as severe as yours I don't think) but has a vibration I can feel in the gas pedal too. I noticed it seems to do it worse when the engine drops to a low RPM at the speeds I mentioned. I'm now wondering if it's not something loose on the exhaust vibrating when it resonates. Gonna check mine tomorrow.

 

Yea stock boot. They give you a rubber "thing" to fix it to the stick. I had to cut a small slit in the top of the boot to get it to fit correctly

 

Is that a light bar on the front of your basket? If so any glare?

 

Yah it's a 32 inch. No glair at all bolted on the wind flair of a yakima loadworrior with a aluminum panel behind it for support. Works great

 

Happy Truck.

 

Just got done doing this as well. Always turns out to be a pain in the butt haha

 

I just bought one because of your post!!

 

Haha yeah, it wasn't too bad this time, but the truck sure enjoys it! So smooth now.

 

You won't be disappointed! Be sure to put a little blue lock tight on while installing to avoid it from loosening over time.
Also I noticed we are twinning, what sliders are you running?

 

Just thought I would leave this here... The 4.7 v8 swap has begun! I sold my 2rz motor but I still have a solid manual trans, a cold air intake, and a bunch of parts that fit the 2rz and 3rz motors! PM me if you need anything! And yes my truck is a single cab lol

 

Added some TRD wheels today

 

can I still do this with 4.88s?

 

So these will be going on this Saturday.
Ditching my 885s and going back on stock coils with Maxtrac spindles



After pics soon to follow.

 

Those alloy wheels are such an improvement over the steelies. Look great!

 

I lucked out with mine. It came with the wheels, painted bumpers and hood when I bought it. the combo really sets it off

 

I like the black bumpers and fenders but I want the scoop hood and color matched grill
