Default Durango engines and knock.

Do Durango engines occasionally knock upon starting? i drove home from work so my engine was fully warmed up. I turned off the engine went inside my house to get my video camera cause i wanted to make an exhaust vid for my brother, I turn on the engine, it turns on pretty fast. I didn't make much of it cause i didnt hear anything(just regular sound of the exhaust). but from the video you can hear from the exhaust some funky rumbling in the beginning. take a look.

What you are hearing is a vacuum being caused after the engine rpm drops and the tail presure is more than the manifold end pressure so it causes a vaccum inside creating the gorgling sound.

This is normal!

4.7s do slap and knock at startup. Sucks, but is normal.
