    Ticking and knocking noise
    Engine knocking sound or tickling Noise. I went to the dealer to diagnosis what is wrong, but they cannot figure out. The dealership recommended to replace the whole engine quoting $9,800 for parts and labor. The vehicle has only 52,000 miles on it, It should not be having this problem. The car is not worth that much, as I would be spending on it. Looking online there are others with the same problem and some have said Toyota has replaced their engine. I contacted the executive office and they denied any assistance, seems like they do not want to stand behind their customers when problems arise until it becomes a bigger issue. I am just letting you guys know of this problem, but I want to involve media and others with this problem. It is not fair to spend so much money on a car just for the engine to go out at 52,000 miles. There has to be some kind of manufacture defect. I'm thinking to start a campaign against Toyota, but we all need to come together

    The 5.7l is notorious for a noisy valvetrain.

    They might have had their engines replaced while under warranty.

    I’d find a good mechanic that can actually diagnose the cause before anything else. Replacing an engine for an unknown cause is not a wise decision.

    As you say, at 52,000 miles this probably shouldn’t happen. That is assuming all maintenance has been performed as required. But the powertrain warranty also expired 8 - 9 years ago.

    The 4.7L engines are pretty darn good, the million mile Tundra is proof.

    Now, this ticking noise. Is it loud when you accelerate, and get quiet when you decelerate?
