Is 10-30 what your oil caps says to put in the engine?

 

Says 5-30 but its still cold here.

Do you have any insite on what could be making this noise

It started fine. then the third time i started it the knocking sound came back and was hard to start.

That was with the pvc valve off when it started fine. then I put it back on and the damn noise comes back and is hart too start and idles like crap.

This all happened when i first ran out of gas.

 

Im uploading a video I can hear the knocking from below. I guess I might replace the rod bearings.

Im just so at the end with this truck.

This thread has been at the back of mind ever since I first read it. Now it's getting close to make a decision to trade my truck in or foot the the repair bill. The tapping is not horrible, just hate hearing it for the first 30- 45 seconds and don't know how long it will last before failure. Finally, I have spent about $1900 in tires, new Eaton differential, gears, air lift etc. in the last 2 months or so.

 

i have a 4.7L and haven't had that problem yet and hope i don't seems like a lot of work would probably just pay someone to do it

 

I hope someone is still looking here, I need help. My springs are not broken but must be weak on my 2004 4.7. Rockers keep falling off. I can not find any to buy. I do see a lot of spring spacers or shims. Will they do what is needed to keep rockers on?
