engine knock?
Ok having a problem my engine sounds lik there's a knock when I'm accelerating it stops after I get to around 50-55 it sounds like its coming from the right side of the cab and I can definitely feel the knock in the gas pedal. Any ideas on what it would be would be helpful!

Can you make it " knock " sitting still ? Brake torque ? Accelerating in neutral ? If not , ck drive line , u joints , mounts , exaust . I had a noise drive me crazy for about a day , before I found a green Black Walnut stuck between the cab and the bed ! I swore it was in the exaust hangers or pipes . Sounds can travel .

Because it seems to be related to the speed of your truck , not engine speed ,I think it may not be engine related . That is why I ask if you can reproduce the "knock" while stationary . On the other hand , many components can cause a knocking sound .

I think the advice is good, one option might be to take it to a smog test station if you have one local. They often have a wheel cart and could put it in motion sitting still so to speak. If the driveline is the issue. It would be easy to hear/see safely. Provided you stay away from reciprocating parts!! Listen with a stethoscope and extension if needed. If due to suspension or ? in front it would be absent, and it doesn't seem as that would be the case as explained.

I would look further into the drive train for the knock . Less likely the mixer than other issues .
