Figured out what was causing the knocking. It appears the folks who rebuilt the motor didnot torq one of the rod caps very well. The truck has been sitting for a little over 2 years. I have had it almost 5 years total. The guy I bought it from said the motor had just been rebuilt.

I pulled it out with the tranny. My Dad and I flipped it over and pulled the oil pan ans saw the damage. I was able to twist of the nuts off by hand on the bad cap. Bearing was all tore up. Anyway, I may get some pics posted. I am getting ready to put the new motor in soon a a few weeks after I get everything cleaned up and painted. The tranny also has a 1/2 inch thick protective coating of mud and oil.
