    Knock on startup?

    If the only rubber is the large band of rubber around the inner part of the pulley then I think it looks fine.

    Knock on startup?

    Would I have to take the belt off to do that?

    I'll go look at the balencer again, how do I know if there is something wrong with it? The rubber looked ok.

    Knock on startup?

    Ive looked at the harmonic balancer last summer and also again a few weeks ago when I put on the HO waterpump. Unless Im looking at it wrong the balencer looks good to me.

    When I run around on the backroads here I do 55 ish with the torque converter locked and I bet I get around 22 or a little better. When I pulled the tactor up from laporte IN I did the same pulling the tractor and probably got close to the same MPG.

    I can hear the lift pump running, it was pumping fuel fine last summer. The glow plugs run for about 30-40 seconds. Its supposed to be nice out today so Ill try and find some time to play with it.

    I want to get a 2wd s10 and drop a tiny 4cyl in it with a manual.

    Dont forget the TCC mod, locking the torque converter really seems to help me on fuel.

    Knock on startup?

    I seen the leak when I had the camera out, thats why I looked at it with the camera. I just put a HO water pump in. Id say its more like over night when it will do it again. I think after almost all day it will knock but not as bad.

    If its a injector would cracking a line loose stop the knock if I had the kncoking cylinder? I want to put insurance back on it soon and drive the beast.

    Knock on startup?

    Ive never put plugs in it and I know the guy who had it before me never did. He only had it a little over a year but time is adding up on them.

    Knock on startup?

    I have noticed mine is more cold blooded then it has ever been. Maybe I should change the glow plugs and see if that does anything.

    Knock on startup?

    This truck never did this before, it started it last year some time and slowly got worse. My other 6.5 doesnt knock. Normaly the knock is worse then it is in the video.

    Knock on startup?

    Heres a video of the engine knock, you can only hear it for about the first 30 seconds. At about 12 seconds you can hear it the best. Seems to only be there at idle. Anyone have any idea what is causing it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6RueRjG_20 <iframe width="420" height="315"...

    Engine Knock at startup

    Ive been planning one only problm is my camera doesnt have clear sound on the video. My moms camera is perfect but it quit working. If I can find the charger I have another camera that takes realy good video on a mini dvd.

    Engine Knock at startup

    I wouldnt think it would be a wore rob bearing because it came on to quick. Also it doesnt seem to be running on all 8 when you first fire it up in the cold. It used to fire right up and run smooth no matter the temperature. The colder it is the worse the knock.

    Engine Knock at startup

    sounds like mine, did you ever fix it? I think the pan is easy to get off on a 2wd so I figured I would pull it off and see what I see.

    Engine Knock at startup

    Thats what I was thinking, is that common on a 6.5L I dont drive it in the winter but I just put a water pump on it. I noticed it back in the summer but it was hardly noticable and slowly got worse. Before I put it on the road Ill pull the pan off and check it out.

    Engine Knock at startup

    When I fire up my truck after about 5 seconds it slowly starts to knock and after about one min it goes away. It starts good and runs fine. Seems to be worse when its cold out. Any idea?
