Re: Engine knocking

Can you afford the price of the truck + about $2000 for a new crate motor plus the various things you discover need replacing during a motor swap? Are you are willing to put in the labor to make it happen?

If yes, and the rest of the truck is what you want and priced accordingly, consider buying it. If no, pass.

If you are prepared for a worse case scenario then anything less then that seems like a bargain.

A dying PS pump can make a noise that sounds a lot like an engine knock as can a subtle exhaust leak.
