I obtained a 1986.5 Hardbody extcab SE pickup with the VG30i engine. Its externally a well cared for vehicle, but some potentially serious questions under the hood.
Right now we're looking for the source of a noise and I've received several opinions. It seems to me that a fairly recent vibration dampener change and a just now fan clutch change might have been done on the basis of misdiagnosing this noise.
The previous owner claims to have changed the timing belt at the required 60k intervals, but there is no documentation for this. So, we're going to have to do that.
The noise may be in there somewhere, but it is a variable noise that seems odd to me.
So, I thought I'd post a video clip of the noise and see if anyone has had similar experience and/or can offer useful suggestions.
