Re:It just started KNOCKING???

they will be of no help except making yoru wallet a little lighter.

Order from Geno's next day air...at this point (and if it were my truck) I would pay it! You maybe able to get one at a tractor dealer or farm supply...check big rig shops...do somethong SOON...

and I also hope you were joking about wal-mart...I try very hard to not set foot in there....

Let us know....especially if it turns out to be caused by your Fram filter.

I thought he posted that he added fuel treatment and the knocking disappeared? ??? I must have missed where it came back...

Re:It just started KNOCKING???

I went to the dealer and they performed the oil change and it seems to run a LOT better. Quiet and smooth...the knock is gone (for now) and if it comes back I will take it back to them...thanks for everyone help. No more contraban oil filters for me...but you would think that folks that do oil jobs would know this...but NOT...

Re:It just started KNOCKING???

You mean folks at Walmart?? I don't think so. : I wouldn't trust them to change the oil on a bicycle. :

How much knocking is considered KNOCKING?? My diesel knocks more than my gasser ever did...but I thought that was just part of being a diesel. It's done it since the day I got it. :-

It usually runs nice and smooth...but every once in a while is sounds like someone with a sledge hammer under the hood...it's gone now...and I hope it never returns...

Yeah right. Post count doesn't interest me. I liked it better when they didn't even show up. :
