Does the 2gr-fks have engine counter balance shafts?

Does anyone know if the v6 in our tacomas have engine counter balance shafts?

 

Not that I am aware of.
Usually I4 have them, like 2az-fe

 

Intersting still chasing down the roughness in my truck .

 

Have you inspected engine and tranny mounts?

 

Honestly you need to work on accepting it or trading the truck in for another vehicle. I'm not trying to be toxic but you complain a lot about this truck and don't seem to be very happy about it.

 

Best I can, can’t visually see much. You can see the engine shaking and transmitting that into the cab. Along with engine vibrations coming through the gas pedal and floor board when accelerating. The vibration app I downloaded detected the vibrations and if the engine doesn’t have counter balance shaft it’s saying to inspect the engine mounts

 

I’ve owned 5…. I can tell the difference between this one and my last 4. So yeah I have a valid complaint. Does the engine have counter balance shaft ? You would know considering you’re a tech ?

 

No, it doesn't use one, only 4 cylinders have counter shafts.

 

Lighten up Francis.... Sell it if you don't like it. It's not that hard geez....

 

Toyota puts weights on the driveshaft to balance the engine. Is there a chance you out your driveshaft on backwards?

 

Why would I do that when I can try and fix it?

 

Thanks

 

Trucks new

 

Maybe it's time for another truck...6th time's a charm?

 

I know you have been chasing the issue for a while. I would try to eliminate mounts 1st. Could be a bad fan? Unlikely, but it is a possibility.
If you lightly support a corner of the engine at the time with a jack, you should see a trend in the vibration.

 

Who knows yeah not a bad idea. My buddies tacoma is so smooth not mine that’s how I know it’s not normal not to mention past ownership

 

Not really. If you were feeling what I’m feeling you’d be chasing it down too

 

I have to ask. Why did you trade in the other 4 trucks?

 

Well my 2022 had a bad cylinder head and 3 separate oil leaks. The other ones I got a killer trade in deal

 

If you had one that was leak free and trouble free that was the one to keep
