On my 85 4x4 yota
I keep hearing this noisy rattling when i drive down the road. i replaced the pilot and throwout bearing when i dropped in a new engine. it has new u joints all around.

anybody have any ideas on what this could be?

 

Dang, that could be nearly anything on the truck... Loose tailgate, fender bolts, loose hood hinges, loose grill bolt, really anything... Is it coming at a certain RPM? From a certain area?

My '84 rattles and squeaks at all RPMs and under any circumstances and from all areas. But until something falls off, I dont worry about it. Part of the experience....

 

i dont think its any part of the body, it sounds rpm related.
It is an old truck though. is there any possibilty of chatter coming from the t case or tranny?

 

ahh i have no clue it could be anything u would go crazy most likely before u figured it out........ where in oregon are u u

 

ya thats probably true im in the springfield area

 

Timing chain...whens the last time it was replaced, could have broken guides.

 

It cant be the timing chain, its a new engine, and way far from where the sound is coming from.

it almost sounds like its coming from the dash or bell housing...

 

Well found out it was my front driveline. Pulled it out and no sound. U joints were fine, greased it up put it back in and no more noise!
