Cool New dodge forum 3rd gen member

Hello Dodge Forum Members,

Today I joined your forum. Glad I found it.

My name is Rick. I live in the Smoky Mountains and own a 2004 Dodge Laramie 4X4 Quad Cab 5.7L. I recently bought it. I owned it exactly one week, started in after a week, heard it immediately start knocking that I think is a rod knocking. Is it a rod?????

I am debating on whether or not to remove and rebuild or purchase a reman from LKQ.

I would appreciate inputs on rebuild or reman. I can rebuild just am seeing what yall think

Kind regards,

Rick

Think I would make sure it is rod knock before swapping engines.
