Knock Knock!

Hey guys, Ive posted several times about my truck. I had problems with it stalling and i had it coded, it was the CPS and MAP sensor. Well i have a knocking noise. Its at 1500 RPM's and only in drive. When i put it in park and hold it at 1500 theres nothing. Whats going on?

Who's There?

Opp's not a "knock Knock joke.

Sorry, You need to get under the truck and listen if it's coming from the oil pan area and the valve cover area. You can narrow it down to the offending cylinder on each of the exhaust right next to the head with a mechanics stethiscope, a long screw driver or even a chunk of wood. Hold one end to your ear.

Hopfully it's just an injector.

On edit, I just noticed that you are close to me. If you need help with the diagnostics or repair let me know. Send me a PM with your PH#. Or I'll send you mine. I have a heated shop with a lift, bring the beer

It may be something inside the tran that is knocking. Have you had any recent work done on the tran? is it acting normal?

PM sent. Thanks for the rep points. That's one of the reasons for hanging around here. Not the points but seen so many guys offering up help & parts for free. I'm a firm beliver in "What comes around, goes around" or something like that

The 7.3 help site is agood example of that.
