[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 6084115, member: 603800"] Basically, I only hear the knock during acceleration when it hits about 3000 rpm. I usually keep it under that due to the knock. The oil is fine, I've recently done a change and the pressure is about a quarter of the way up the gauge at idle and at about halfway at acceleration. When I noticed the knock I took it to a mechanic to take a look at it for me. He checked everything out and came to the same conclusion I did. He told me he's seen these run for a couple of years with a knock like mine. I'm not overly worried about it at the moment, but it is a situation I would like to address sometime in the near future. If I end up shooting the rod out of the block then the truck is done. Rods are cheap, however, the labor on them is ridiculous. It's something I may be able to do on my own, as I have done some major work on engines before. I don't know if it would be worth the hassle for me to do the work. It seems like every time I turn around, something else is wrong with the truck. I would ideally like to get something newer soon. The only problem with that is at the moment, I'm in no financial position to be getting anything.
