    Hello Master,
    My 13 5.7 tundra makes a loud noise when starting cold. Once it made the noise and the truck kept trying to start on its own w/o key being turned, it finally cranked over.
    A few years back it had this same noise. After a few visits to my toyota dealer they isolated the trouble to a bad alternator. It was swapped out and the noise went away on cold starts. Now it's back.
    Can it be something else?
    How does a water pump sound when going out?
    Could it be the valves from secondary air pump system?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Jt

    Video will help a lot. People are always talking about noises with the 5.7.

    Sure, I'll have my wife record it tomm morning. I cleaned my battery terminals up as they were covered with corrosion.

    Why can’t it be the alternator again? If it’s doing the same thing as last time.
