Sign In Parked truck on saturday, went to start on friday, it would just clunk when turned it over, it finally started and is knocking really bad. What would it be when one minute its fine and the next its not. Checked oil just before that and had brown gunk on cap, sometimes just condensation. Knocking kinda sounds from top end but not sure. Any suggestions?? 1997 Ford F-150 4.2L, 4x2, Extended Cab, Short Box nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Feb 18, 2010, 12:17 AM Post #2 of 4 (3529 views) Re: Engine knocking with no warning... Sign In does the noise change when it is warm? A bit of gunk around the cap is normal. Was any on the dipstick? jeffreypca New User Feb 21, 2010, 1:12 AM Post #3 of 4 (3517 views) Re: Engine knocking with no warning... Sign In Well, only had it running for maybe 10 minutes, cause I didn't want to do more damage if internal. Oil on dipstick looks normal, dark cause I haven't change the oil in a while.

Use a separate gauge from truck's if needed. Try to describe the noise more. Better when run a few minutes or worse? Hard knock, light knock, ticking, double knock etc. Could it be a belt driven item? Any could, water pumps can make knocking sounds as I guess any item could. Take belt off for a quick check if suspect to rule out belt driven items, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
