I've got it too. 2002 2.7L 4x4 etra cab 5 speed. dealer does not know the problem. They gave me the same line about short block replacement. Supposed to let me know on 11/19/02. 2 other trucks were at the dealer for the same problem.

My truck started making the noise at 2000 miles

Good luck getting a refund. I am in South Carolina and we participate in the lemon law. They get 3 tries to fix. If not, I will have legal recourse. I have the 100k warrantee also. So, they have awhile to deal with me. If everyone that has this problem would raise hell about it, Toyota would do the right thing.

Keep us updated on your issue. As will I.
