2011 tacoma prerunner Got it used, and the noise was driving me crazy I'm glad to hear this is "NORMAL" I was so mad at myself thinking that i got scammed. Hopefully, it runs fine for a while.
@@ediwaldosanchez7268 Just bought one too, same thing. It was driving me crazy until I saw a million others online saying theirs did it from day one haha Still sucks. Truck rules overall, though. 🤌
I got a 2020 taco about a year ago with 6,000 miles on it and it sounds like a tractor at idle and at low speeds been worried about it too but everyone said its normal
Appreciate the before and after but sounds exactly the same lol. Thanks for saving me from trying this. I hear it more on the left driver side on the cats.
Picked up an FJ with 275k miles. No tick. Changed the oil to 5w30... got tick. As a kid we called this the quart low tick. Glad to know its fairly normal. Next oil change going to 10w30 to see differance.
2nd gen tacomas tick. Lots of engines do. Also preemptive here not being rude I’ve worried about that tick in the past as well. There’s lots of parts in there moving around. Mine has sounded just like that since I bout it with 80k on it. Almost rounding 200k and it sound exactly the same. Sometimes it is quieter sometimes louder probably my crazy ears listening for it. I just hear it now and think yep sounds like the normal engine noise. Never know why I guess just noisy drivetrain. Best running lowest maintenance vehicle I’ve ever had though. Love it. Learn to ignore that ticking sound. Lol save you some stress.
was it an early sign of a major problem? lol, i just bought a 21’ trd sport w 60k miles and the sound is driving me crazy, dont know if its normal or bad
Almost a year later and the sound has remained the same. No worse or better and the truck runs great. I’m convinced it’s normal and it doesn’t bother me anymore. Enjoy the taco man . 🌮 🎉
Very slight difference. I just purchased a 2015 Tacoma Trd and had that same tapping thought the valves needed to be adjusted but seems to be a normal internal sound then. Thanks for the content.
I have a 2020. My first tacoma. I thought there was something wrong with the truck. Glad to hear it’s not just me but I still don’t like the sound. Lol
It's on a 2nd Gen 4.0 and has nothing to do with the "Engine". It's the purge valve / solenoid that makes the noise as it opens and closes to control the emissions, specifically the vapors stored in the charcoal cannister which then get burned by combustion to reduce emissions. The click from the solenoid is amplified by the intake it's mounted to, a big plastic box that pretends it's a drum. The rubber washers isolate some of the noise but since the metal bolt is still through the valve and the intake there is still a direct link between the two. Might have better luck unbolting it and zip tying it to something else and even wrapping it in foam insulation. Just a crappy design flaw you have to live with to make the Government (ie EPA) happy.
when i bought my 2010 tacoma in 2019 i took it to a dealer ship because i thought the noise was bad. they told me its perfectly normal for it to sound like that.
I’m in the process of purchasing a Tacoma, I raised the hood and heard the tic noise and panicked. I recorded a video, even asked the salesman to compare another Tacoma (same tick) Thanks for this video, I’m a bit relieved that this is normal and not the beginning of something major down the road
I know my air conditioner on both 2nd and 3rd gen tic like hell but my 3rd gen has another sound, like a tight lifter on the passenger side rear of motor so I'm gonna let them look at it
really need help here, my tacoma starts ticking around 2k rpm, nothing at idle. I do know I have a cracked timing head gasket, but it’s never made any noises before. should i go get it checked out or could this possibly work? obviously it wouldn’t fix the gasket but the tick is so fucking annoying lmao.
It’s very sparatic honestly. I’m sure that Toyota has the computer always keeping this motor under control and in safe values. I hate that tick with a passion and how sluggish it is but atleast you know that it’s gonna last you forever if you respect it.
I just got a brand new taco V6. Is this normal? Parked with AC running sounds just like this. If it’s normal I can live with it but I’m trying to find out or if there’s an issue
No difference. Great vid, before & after helped alot & rocked. Thanks man. A friend at work about a month ago said to me, "Ya got a bad balve?" & since then it's been on my mind & I hear it. So....it IS normal?? Please tell me it's normal. If my TACo ticks, alright. If it shouldn't tick, shit.
V6 Toyota 4.0 are ticking all with 0 or 400k miles...do not worry. I started today one Land Cruiser 4.0 V6 with same engine, the chain sounded first 2-3 seconds like it is going to fall apart...🤣🤣 The car has not be started at least 2 months... Just dont get crazy if you leave your car longer sitting first start won't be nice at all🤣🤣 Just change your oil by the book or sooner and you'll have no issue...
Why would toyota release this. Engineer out the tick!!! Previous engine model was quiet. And don’t get me going about the shitty power delivery and the shitty oil filter cartridge system.

I’m am so relieved to find out mine isn’t the only one. Thought it was an major issue coming my way..
So your car never did the ticks on before but now it does?? Seriously wondering cuz I just bought one and it ticks

The valves are hydraulically self adjusting
Good to know that it’s “normal “. Now I can deal with it sounding like a diesel for the next 300k miles. That’s all that matters to me. 😁

Greatest mistery on the internet... ticking V6 🤣🤣🤣
The tick or click is from the port and fuel injection system lol. The only mod is getting rid of it.
Bingo
Clean out the PCV valve located on driver's side back park of engine above the rear coil. Spring in the valve is clogged.
Make a video
I’m in the process of purchasing a Tacoma, I raised the hood and heard the tic noise and panicked.
I recorded a video, even asked the salesman to compare another Tacoma (same tick)
Thanks for this video, I’m a bit relieved that this is normal and not the beginning of something major down the road
The video is wonderful but the package with the part number wasn’t addressed what’s the part number?
Mine ticked the day I got it out of the dealer. I did also get it with 13k miles back in 2015 certified used
6 cyl. 4 banger. What year. Lots of in answers
Lol i still hear the tick. Any ways that's normal for that ticking sound.
The tick is your injectors and I'm surprised your not complaining about the low knock which is detonation.
what do you mean
They're identical lmao
Pretty sure this is the direct injection engine in the 3rd gens. Deff the HP pump and maybe a little valve tick, (exhaust)
Sounds exactly the same.
But worth it
LoL ball buster 😂
Slightly but there is still the same engine tick I can hear in my one I was woundering if it was the injectors or lifters as it goes louder with rpm
Okay so it’s not just me
I know my air conditioner on both 2nd and 3rd gen tic like hell but my 3rd gen has another sound, like a tight lifter on the passenger side rear of motor so I'm gonna let them look at it
Hp fuel pump in DI mode
There is no lifter it's a dual over head cam bud 😙
@@thelenzperspective8297 Lifter...🤣🤣
They read somewhere...🤣
It did nothing. Mine is doing that, I'm gonna try it. You might not have tighted it enough MAYBE? Just wondering.
Ok, so I tried it.....still there there Joe Biden.
My 3rd Gen 15.5 TRD has 188K miles and I have never noticed an annoying loud ticking from the engine.
Different engine. 4.0 vs the 3.5
@@spencerhoward3100 it's a 16 purchased in fall of 2015... it now has 205k miles
I have a Toyota Tacoma 2021 Trd sport and the engine sounds like it's Diesel; I took it to the agency and they tell me it's normal
Buy the 2.7 not the v6 and you never hear tic
really need help here, my tacoma starts ticking around 2k rpm, nothing at idle. I do know I have a cracked timing head gasket, but it’s never made any noises before. should i go get it checked out or could this possibly work? obviously it wouldn’t fix the gasket but the tick is so fucking annoying lmao.
Made it worse. I hear a distinct higher pitched clack now.
Changed 0.01% lol
Sounds like it needs a valve adjustment. Toyota recommends every 60,000 miles. I don’t know man it might have helped but very little
Can't lose.. if you Don't play ! waste !
is that a cat under the hood
Is the tick always there or does it go away after the engine is warm?
It’s very sparatic honestly. I’m sure that Toyota has the computer always keeping this motor under control and in safe values. I hate that tick with a passion and how sluggish it is but atleast you know that it’s gonna last you forever if you respect it.
All this did is at a more annoying higher frequency rattling to the overall annoyingness of the engine
I just got a brand new taco V6. Is this normal? Parked with AC running sounds just like this. If it’s normal I can live with it but I’m trying to find out or if there’s an issue
It’s normal, all 3rd gens do it.
My inline 4 sounds same sometimes ...bad gasoline. It goes away with 98octane much smoother...
Ever figure out the tick?
Well, that's one more thing I can rule out as to the reason there is this ticking sound while idling.
Have you by chance discovered what the taking sound at idle is from?
Eh...seems different but not really a big jump
what if you changed that valve doohicky?
Whatis it ypur putting washers on ans what year is the tacoma.
I couldn’t even tell the difference
I won't bother but thanks for your trouble
No difference. Great vid, before & after helped alot & rocked. Thanks man.

Put a bit thicker oil and this thing quiets down .i put 10w40 amd now its much quieter than the recommended 5w30
No change
GEN3?
not noticeable 👎🏼
Lol. I don’t hear a difference either.
Have no idea what he’s taking about
😊😅😅😅😅😅they sound the same. 😅😅😅😅😅
Didn’t do crap, but nice try brotha!
No difference. Id like my time and attention back please.
Doesn’t work
nothing
Pointless “mod”
Sounds exactly the same
The “tick” comes from the injectors and lifters. This truck has loud injectors.
Nothing
Did absolutely nothing lol
Sound the same lol
no different
