TOYOTA Tundra Engine Squeaking Noise

2017 Toyota Tundra with 4.6Liter V8 Engine 1UR-FE with annoying squeakin sound when engine running

[@tonysantana1493]

All those idler pulleys have the same bearing. That bearing is used in so many different applications whenever mine go out I just pop the bearing out and press a new one in. It's a Timken bearing #203FF or if you look on the bearing the number is 6230 that bearing is also used on a lawn mowers deck for the blades. Also the same idler pulley for a Chevy uses the same bearing too. Just thought I'd let you know!

[@pqtpat7734]

Same for 2010 5.7 right? Would much rather just swap the bearing. Thanks man

[@mikeandcolleenk9831]

Very in formative. Nice to have a technician that knows what they are doing. Unlike the ones at a dealership. Thank you again

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Great repair, saving the customer a lot. The pulley looks identical to the squealer on my 09' Matrix 2.4. I was ashamed to drive it out in public, the squeal being so bad. Even non car people looked at me(to my shame). Changed just the pulley too. While I was in doing that I did the water pump and put a new harmonic balancer and crank oil seal too. I'd changed the belt and alternator before that. Thanks for the video. Malcolm Ottawa Valley

Honesty wins every time. Good job !!

[@williamkrusejr1846]

I have been watching your videos since the Mini Cooper days and always got good information from them, I am still enjoying your videos and learning too

[@richardmorse5307]

Excellent diagnostic work and replacement!

[@Nemesis74racer]

I wished you lived closer to Southern California because I'd love for you to take a look at a common scary issue on my Tundra which is also known in the Tundra forums as: mushy/sinking brake pedal. Till this day there is no definitive way of identifiying what the cause is and/or find a permanent solution. Some say it's the MC, brake booster, and/or ABS module. Some after replacing all that still experience it. My Tundra has been sitting in my front yard for 2 months now. :(

[@LAactor]

Yeah that's too bad. Maybe you should just parts cannon it with the cheap stuff first and see how it goes for a grocery getter. The time lost to the joys of driving a fine beast is time never recovered. Maybe just try a steel hose upgrade vs the softlines running to the caliper brake bleed and make sure ALL the air is out of the lines. And drive slow. Ten hours is no good to go with scary brakes.

[@lifelong5425]

Excellent Peter....really enjoyed the troubleshooting.....and the noise solving process.....A happy customer relieved, back to the road it goes

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Good diagnosis Peter. You da man Peter. I'm planning on replacing power steering pump on my 09 Subaru Forester. California coast a true sight for the eyes. Even if it's raining.

[@anonymity6876]

FYI, when you replace pulley / bearing carefully, remove bearing dust cover, add a little more high temp grease, and then reinstall the seal this will increase the life of the bearing.✌️😎🇦🇺🍻

[@TXAG81]

I always replace the tensioner when replacing the belt on my 5.7L Toyotas as a preventative maintenance measure.

[@Calvin7007]

Impressive Work 😎

[@ArsenPotentier]

Another good procedure for spotting a fault Peter.

[@freddie_ray1498]

Great diagnosis and repair. It's been a while since I've watched your channel. I'll be purchasing a new truck this year, Yes getting rid of my 95 Chevy Silverado that I've had since new. I want a Taco, but the wife doesn't like the look. She thinks that I should get a Tundra or a Dodge Ram. Gonna see if I can get her to watch your channel. No more American cars or trucks for me... Keep up the good work...

tanks you my friend my truck do tha same noise,tanks very much.

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Dr Peter to the rescue,great video!

[@jaspercats]

Great video as always.

[@classicreaction5340]

I just had to replace that same pulley and then the alternator died a week later on my 07 4.7 engine. They lasted 270,000 miles though, so I'm not complaining! 😁

[@charlesjackson1700]

The pulley / tensioner always makes that rattling sound when it is going bad.. I hear it quite often in-store parking lots when the vehicles go by.

[@durango8882]

I just got one last month on my 2004 Tundra.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@charlesjackson1700]

@@durango8882 Yours has been a Good one.👍. I think of them as a long-term maintenance item .

[@pqtpat7734]

If my belt squeals when I start it randomly does that mean tensioner / pulley going bad? 5.7 2010 tundra

[@charlesjackson1700]

@@pqtpat7734 No, that does not sound like your tensioner. Cold and dew can affect the shape and grip up the belt. If yours only does that briefly it sounds more like an aging belt or from the effects of the cold and moisture.

[@pqtpat7734]

@@charlesjackson1700 it’s always when rainy! Thank you

[@proview33]

Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed it.

[@durango8882]

I am no mechanic by any means and I had mine replaced along with the belt on my 2004 Tundra SR5 4.7 Got it fixed and you can’t hear the engine running. I heard it and knew right away. 👍🏻not cheap but had to have it. Be safe in the rain 🌧 storms✌🏻Rusty crusty bearing.

[@morgantams9268]

can you also diagnose by pulling off the belt and spinning the pulleys and listening for a bad bearing?

[@bookooc5605]

This should probably be titled as "grinding noise'. I have this same engine in my 2005 4runner, and I have a real squeaky noise, which people normally associate with belt. Seems to only occur during the colder wetter months, and goes away in summer. Belt is newer, as are pulleys.

[@markreynolds3850]

Interesting video Peter, thanks for sharing.

[@wolfeadventures]

Bearings holding on to a tiny amount of grease can have it flushed out with enough water exposure.

[@trollingdirty8910]

Surprised it's not an alternator with Tundra's terrible low alternator setup. Silly to have a 4wd truck with plastic bumpers and an alternator mounted so low.

[@HeyMikeyLikesIt2]

Trial by error…. I was replacing a squealing serpentine belt every 4 months. I stopped putting the skid plate back on. I even looked for the Goodyear Gatorback belt that doesn’t squeal. I replaced a few of those small pulleys, I replaced the tension pulley….still squealed….. I did some digging, and found out I should replace the tensioner and pulley. I did that, and no more squealing. If you replace the tensioner use an impact Allen head socket. Tap it in to seat it as deep as you can, you don’t want to strip that tensioner bolt… there is hardly any room in there to tap out a broken bolt.

[@maddydog]

Thank you Peter another beautiful video

[@tundramanq]

2008 5.7 . My Toyota only mechanic replaced my bearings only on the tensioner pulley. Me has a press and a stock of common Toyota bearings. A whole lot less expensive than the whole tensioner unit that the dealers parts department wants to sell.

[@Jhonsinh]

Wish I had a mechanic like that near me!

[@johnmiksch3882]

Modern mechanic,it’s all in the diagnosis.

[@pqtpat7734]

My 2010 5.7l tundra squeaks in drive occasionally, maybe 25% to 50% of the time. Do you think it’s same issue?

[@eduardoortiz344]

My 2015 146 ,000 miles makes the same noise when i first start it after couple days in my garage ,i hate it sound like diesel ingine but after i drive it for little bit the noise goes away

[@Joserocha-wm9de]

Sounds like a bad idler pulley?

[@lawrenceralph7481]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@Mike-pe1fz]

Great video and info Peter.

[@cpawp]

Too much rain in California...? The shop floor looks like being wet, or moist ...

[@harindersaini4873]

Great Video, I see the engine oil filter housing, My question is did you ever encounter overtight oil filter housing and what is the best way to open the over tight oil filter housing.

[@eduardoortiz344]

Mine 2015 makes the same noise but only when first start the truck after sitting for couple days but after drives it goes away why?

[@joeyg7458]

The same happened on my sequoia come to find out the dealer part is made by another company..I bought the aftermarket one ..Dayco is the mfg…

[@tylermacconnell217]

I wonder why Toyota chose to locate the alternator so low on a 4x4 truck. Mounting it up high with easy access from under the hood would have been better.

[@emmvee1678]

I want to leave that skid plate off on next oil change. It has 4 bolts, 2 were broken off before we bought it.

[@GraemeRobinson]

Car Doctor!

[@Thecherokee4x4]

It's leaking blinker fluid

[@Laffy1345]

Replaced the seals, and no more leaks or squeaky rats... used coffee filters to clean the blinker fluid... working great thanks

It's still one of the best. Talk to some people that have nightmares with new FordF-150s.. EcoBoost and the V8..😩

[@johnlilley9363]

Seems like it depends on where the particular vehicles are made. Japanese made Toyotas seem to still be well made but the San Antonio location appears to be hit or miss. I have a 16 crewmax, I’m hearing what appears to be low volume sound like a pump is dry. Was told my the service manager that the noise wasn’t loud enough to investigate. I’m out of factory warranty into an extended warranty also, so that may have something to do with it.

[@jerrygiarratana9462]
