HELP! Need to fix mom's Ram and it's a list of symptoms
I'm going to bullet point the symptoms and what hubby has already done.
This is my disabled mom's truck and is her main course of getting around. We have got to get this fixed. (Truck info: 2001 Ram 1500 2wd...no pinstripe )
1) She was driving down the hwy (65mph) and suddenly heard a loud knocking sound and then her oil pressure bottomed out. Towed truck to our house.
2) Hubby replaced the oil pump, gasket, etc.
3) Loud knock gets very loud when accelerate.
4) Oil pressure does not bottom out, but it does not increase with acceleration (have not replaced sending unit yet).
5) Did I mention the loud knock?
I am wondering if there is a way to know for sure (or at least better odds) if it's the flexplate, wrist pin, push rod, bearings...see the trend I'm going here?
HELP! Please!!!! In the meantime, guess I'm .

Ask and ye shall receive. I apologize for the wind noise. Knocking best heard after he rev'd up a little bit and then backed off acceleration.
