Which tick is it?
Let your truck cool down over nite.
Start it up in the morning and if you hear a tick it's your exhaust manifold.
Take it up to 3K while it's still cold and if you hear a tick it's your exhaust manifold.
Once it's up to operating temperature it's just the Taco tick.
I run high octane gas and just figure the tick is unspent vapor when my engine is hot as hell.

as a toyota tech, we see hundreds of 1GR's (4.0 v6) in all the trucks. they are all equally noisy, and the manifolds do nothing...we have never been able to stop the noise, but just think its the lifters...there is nothing you can do about it, sorry guys
I agree 100% that they don't do anything. Had this done a while back and noticed 0 improvements... never really was a big problem for me as my 3000gt had lifter tick that was worse than this. I seen there was a TSB out for it and figured i would give it a shot... it was nothing but wasted time without the X :laugh:
That's not the Toyota tick or the exhaust tick.I have the tick, but it goes away once I push the clutch in, once I let it out it starts again, so I duno??

Damn I didnt want to hear that. oh well, my friend with an '07 tacoma 4x4 has the same issue with his too. Is that normal??
so what is the long term outcome of this problem? Unusable tranny? or something else? Will it cause any other problems? Covered under warranty? sorry for all the questions but my truck is my work truck as well so i'm just concerned is all.
Toyota knows about the issue and thats why they issued a TSB for it. the only issue with that is that u have to prove the problem exists on ur truck.
one way to tell if ur clutch is slipping is to go about 50mph and put it in 6th gear, floor it. watch ur tach and speedo and see if they both move in sinc or if ur tach is goin up and ur speedo isn't going anywhere. if that happens, ur clutch is slipping.
