Hey everybody!
(Video links at the end)
I’m a new Tacoma owner and so I’m pretty unfamiliar with their engines. I have a 2018 Tacoma RWD V6 3.5 L with 57k miles on it.
Recently I’ve noticed that the engine is
making a consistent clicking/rattle/ clattering kind of noise after the engine is warm and at idle. From the research I’ve done people say that’s the normal “Tacoma tick” or it’s a bad high pressure fuel pump or it’s the pump assembly vacuum. Or it could be bad lifters.
To me it sounds too loud and rough to be normal. When I sit in the cab I can noticeably feel the vibration from the engine. The engine it self doesn’t physically rattle or shake, right now it’s just a sound.
It has no check engine light, gas mileage seems normal, averages about 21 highway. All the fluids are at normal lvls and it has a stellar service history. The fuel pump was replaced at 40k miles.
I’ve added some videos
If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts that’d be greatly appreciated
