This may be the right place, may not, but need guidance

I've got a 2009 Double Cab 4WD with 63k on it. I've started to feel/hear some noises that I typically haven't, a little vibration and rattling. Nothing outrageous to the point of "holy crap, I need this fixed now!" but still noteworthy.

Do I need to get a 60k checkup done? My place suggested it, said they'd flush all the fluids out and replace (tranny, differential, etc).

Do I need to get it, or do I have a while before its more necessary?

Thanks in advance!

 

When does the noise happen? Does it change with engine RPM? Could you be a little more specific?

 

Sorry for the delay! I notice it most when coming to a stoplight and right as I leave the line, and yes it does change with RPM. Could it be a belt?

 

changing the whole drivetrain for a noise is kinda excessive ha

 

I would agree, but the truck just doesn't feel the way it used to, so I thought that might help. It may also be all in my head, I'll freely admit, I'm not as good with cars as I should be.

Thanks folks!

 

EGR valve going south, perhaps.

 

I would try the small things first, Sometimes a full flush of all the oils and changing to much stuff out at once cane cause more problems then it will fix.
Good Luck

 

when was the last time you, rotated your tires? Greased your drive line? Re-toqued your chasis bolts?

 

I'm actually in the market for new tires, so that may help itself.

 

If your tires are heavily worn, you could get a vibration at low speed that would dissipate as you accelerate. Maybe your serpentine belt tensioner is going bad? If it vibrates a large amount instead of holding tension on the belt, it can make some weird noises.

I'm beginning to think tires might be it, which I'm looking into new ones as we speak. Thanks for the help!
