7.3 engine noise

Just found the site and logged on. Got a /99 ford 350 with the 7.3 and the engine has gradually developed a knock. Usually only when its warm. Sounds like it's from the back of the engine, and sound equally as loud when you are listening fron either the right or left side. The mechanics are baffelled. Anybody got any ideas? It sounds like you expect a knocking rod to sound like, heavy, not tinny. But its not rhythemic.

hey welcome to FTE. not to be rude or anything but your best bet to get the answer would be to go to the 1999 to 2003 7.3L powerstroke forum.

if you go back to the main forum page scroll up and you will see it.
