Fill out your sig, so we know more about your truck

I also just recently started experiencing a knock on my truck, after a harder than normal run

I am also interested in finding out the problem for the knocking noise.....and have my fingers crossed!!!

What's your rail pressure gauge saying? If the rail pressure sensor goes out it will do this due to too much pressure.

It started doing this Saturday night, after I ran the truck hard.

Sounded very odd, but definately was a knocking noise

It has been parked in the driveway and I have not started it since.....
