Check the cam bolt nuts on the UCA’s. 74 ft-lb. Mine looked tight but weren’t to spec. I had a similar thing going on and thankfully this was the issue. Use a wrench to hold the bolt head and torque the nut. Make sure to do this with wheels on the ground.

I torqued them down to 74 ft-lbs and that seemed to take care of it. They weren’t loose by any means, but after the proper torque, no more pop! Thanks for the help.

Following. I’ve got a similar sound. Can’t quite figure it out.

Following. I have a similar issue, can’t find anything loose. I’ve removed the front sway bar as well so that isn’t causing the sound.

Yeah, @Trollhole, I ended up replacing the starter last night. Had a TYC Starter in there with unknown miles. I put in a Toyota Reman. No issues since. Had to re-pin that starter connection but everything went back smoothly! Shes back on the road! I did have to crack a beer or two to work up...

Has anyone diagnosed/done a starter job on a 100 series? I’ve been dreading this job and I want to make sure it’s the right move before I buy more parts. New Battery and New Reman Alt from Toyota. First thing when the truck is cold, she starts right up. After it reaches running temp and is...

Did you ever get a resolution to this issue? I think I’ve got the same thing going on. New batt, new alt, checked grounds.

I just had Renaissance Auto in Cary do my Timing Belt/Water Pump, they did a great job. They had no issues with me bringing the cruiser outfitters kit and encouraged me to buy a few more OEM bits to do while in there. They do mostly BMW and Mercedes stuff but they have a guy in the back that...

Put on some @TRAIL TAILOR extendo rear links and removed the front sway bar. Feels like a new truck! Maybe it’s placebo, maybe not. Either way, the drivers seat test has been believing. Did a brake flush with Toyota Dot 3 and prepping to put on the TB/WP kit I got from @cruiseroutfit and a...

Yeah I’ve seen the Spartans and the lokka drop ins. Really wish Aussie had one for the 100, fee pretty comfortable with their quality. newbie questions on the way, what do I need to look for in order to swap in the e locked 3rd I have sitting in my garage? It’s from an 80 and was going to go...

Has anyone seen a reputable product on the market similar to the Aussie Auto Locker for the 80? I had one in the rear of my 80 and loved it. No issues as a daily driver and off road it performed well. You forget its back there. On my 100, I think that plus ATRAC could be a killer off road set...

Totally understand, I would be down if you do a run of them again.

@Isotel Any ideas when the 100 series flavor will be back in stock?

I have a similar high pitched rattle on start up. I started touching stuff and when I touched the passenger side heat shield on the cat, it stopped. What can you do to fix that for good?

I just pulled a set of sk20r11 plugs out of mine in the baselining process. They worked and looked fine. It’s a great option to go with. Denso plugs will be great. Don’t get the auto zone specials.
