Engine Knock

I have a 94 B3000 3.0L manual 2WD with 149KM.

I can hear a knock after driving on the highway and then slowing down or coming to a stop (even parked and engine shut off). It doesn't last for long maybe about 10-15 seconds. Any ideas of what this could be? Someone told me it could be the timing chain since it tightens and loosens to change timing. Does this sound right?

You're saying that this noise can happen "even parked and engine shut off"??? If that's really the case, I have to wonder if somehow you have air trapped in the cooling system.

Wonder if you might have a oil foaming problem.

Have you changed, or had the oil changed lately???

Is the oil level correct, not over filled????

Have you changed brands or weight of oil or filter.

Are you using the specified oil weight & specified MotorCraft filter????

I Just bought the truck a week ago and they did change the oil and filter with the safety. Thanks for the input, I'll try changing it myself.
