Urgent Help Needed. Knocking Noisr
Stuck in a parking lot at the moment.
The new 3.9 I threw in the truck started knocking out of no where. Drove to work fine this morning and came out to start it now and ita making a knocking noise.
Starts and runs fine for about 3 seconds, then develops a loud erratic knock. Oil pressure is fine. Oil level is fine.
Could it be something else? It almost sounds like something is hitting something. Checked the fan to make sure it wasn't hitting anything and its not.
Anything else to check before I tow it?

Definitely sounds like inside the engine. Tell me this. If a spark plug end broke off and fell into a cylinder , would it rattle around and knock? Or would it get eaten up pretty quickly?
I never replaced the plugs.
It just started when I came out from work. No prior problems. I'm thinking spark plug because I can see it breaking from the cold weather now hitting the hot engine.
The question is.. do I tow it and waste 200 bucks? (I'm quite far from home) or is the damage already done and driving it won't matter.
If its the engine I'm done. I'm sick of this truck.

OTOH, you've been saying that the trannie is kind shi**y. Maybe it's time to give the poor thing a proper burial.
I feel kinda invested. My stomach gave a turn when I saw the thread title earlier. Sorry, man.
