    Noticed yesterday a ticking noise when I warm up the truck for about the first minute or so. Any ideas? 125k miles.

    0w-20? Toyota uses pretty thin oil, not much for suppressing valve chatter.

    Lucas Upper Cylinder Treatment works quieting things down. Even more so in the winter.

    My neighbor thought I had bought a diesel when the car was new. Surprisingly it got quieter as it aged or maybe I got used to it. :D

    I think there is a hidden typewriter in there somewhere.

    After reading this thread I realized my toes, ankles and knees make the same sound and like our trucks, I stopped noticing.

    Also I’m surprised I’ve never read anything about this noise with everyone saying they have it

    I had it bad in my 2010 after I let a Ford fan dog my truck. I was told it was the timing chain guide is made of plastic. Broken guide? My 2017 makes a slight tick but, that’s the Tundra.
