Bulletproof?  No.  They have their issues.   Plenty of disappointed crapota owners out there. I'm one of them.  But they certainly have a better reputation than any of the others out there, that's true. 

we've been patiently waiting more than six months now for you to list all of their issues......Son.

Well I changed my mind. Had it towed to the dealer so I could demonstrate the noise (cold start).  I asked the service advisor if a tech would come out and listen for the noise with me present to avoi

Wow, how sad.  You have no ability to go do your own research.  Grow a set, please.

oh, I have.....Son.  Folks over at the Tundra site are just really enjoying life and their ultra reliable and functioning as intended vehicles.  

 

I've also now learned you can't win an argument with an idiot

My 2020 6.2L makes a similar noise. Just over 5,000 km on it. GM says it’s normal and not doing damage?

Or someone who uses the word "Son" when talking to people on a public forum board. Seriously what are you 12 years old, are the rubber and glue cracks next here, grow up!

Boring but bulletproof and reliable so you can actually enjoy life.  Plus the Toyotas have the highest resale value on the market.  
 

GM truck owners are going to be left with a giant money pit once the warranty expires.

I had a 2013 Tundra 4x4 until I traded it in for my 19 Silverado Z71 LT.  Only issues I ever encountered with the Tundra was the 4x4 not engaging properly and it flashing on the dash.  Then having to wait for it "unlock" or try some other method to undo the 4x4.  Silverado had the same issue years ago.

 

No other issues with my Tundra.  It's bulletproof compared to these newer Silverado's.

Yes, it is true, the 2-HI to 4-HI and 4-HI to 2-LO will not always engage properly on the Toyotas if you do not "cycle" the transfer case actuator and front differential actuator on a monthly basis.  This cycling maneuver is clearly outlined within the owners manual.  The shift yokes within each actuator tend to gum up from lack of use and it can take several cycling attempts to free them up.

I actually found it to happen more below 50 degree's outside, whether or not the engine/trans was cold or warm.  Above that, it would always engage and disengage properly whether the engine/trans was cold or warm..  I had to let it sit overnight before it would free up a majority of the time.

Ok so I can't guarantee this will fix your issue, but I'm pretty sure it was mine. My truck made a similar noise to the video on the original post, and I could not figure it out. GM was no help. So, to anyone who has this noise and it's not just your DI system, CHECK YOUR IGNITION COILS AND PLUG WIRES! Somehow one of the plugs on mine loosened and was arking to the header, causing the tick (I believe) and when the engine warmed up, for whatever reason it stopped arking. This could also be a cause for poor, choppy idle if the plug is far enough away from the spark plug head. Probably not a fix all for everyone, but worth a shot.

my idle started to get pretty rough around the 12k mark. I have a friend who is a GM tech so we hooked up the scanner and the truck had a misfire at idle but wasn't enough to set a hard fault. 

Gm can say all they want that this noise isn't doing any damage but this is always their default statement with motor issues.  I can almost 100% guarantee  that its a lazy lifter that GM knows about but has no interest in fixing for people.  You can tell its a lifter issues because the noise almost goes away with a fresh oil change.  You may not see any major failures from this right away but a lazy lifter WILL cause issues down the road. By the time it does it will be on your dime.

It is called MTBF.  Hence the reason why GM offers a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty.   If GM produced a quality product, their warranty would be considerably longer.  The GM actuaries determined a few years back their 5yr/60,000 mile warranty was reducing profitability due to vehicle components failing before the warranty period expired.  So, GM in true fashion simply reduced their warranty period.  

 

In addition to offering a reduced warranty, GM has also patented the "cannot duplicate", "functioning as intended", and "the ECM did not record any trouble codes, therefore your problem doesn't exist".

I may be way off track here but, any possibility of this being carbon build up?

The new 3rd gen tacomas do have some issues. Not nearly as many as the new Silverado. I replaced my truck with a 2015 Tacoma(last year of the second gen). Its not the most fancy truck but at least it runs right and the brakes don't randomly fail. 

 

Not sure why people are giving heat on the tundra interior. The new Silverado interior isn't that much better and its a newly designed truck.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
