Hello friends I bought a 2019 tacoma 2.7 brand new in 2019 its been an amazing spare truck and has an easy life hauling a dirtbike occasionally when it doesn't warrant getting a 1 ton out of the barn .....regular oil changes with STP Amalie for 99% of its life with 5k to 6k intervals
It just developed a cold soak rattle on start up ..... only after a long cold soak like overnight....never during the day after first start up
It sounds like the internal chain tensioners loose pressure and rattle pretty bad now every morning the bad noises last about 35 to 40 seconds until the oul builds back up to pressure
I'm gifting this truck to my son who gets his license in about 4 months
Anyone have one of these 2.7 engines was this a common deal truck just literally hit 107k?
Guess I'm going to tear it down to the tensioners and go back with new......hopeful this will last at least another 100k after
Thoughts ?
