    95 5.7 Knocking, video enclosed - Need Opinions

    Hi, My truck's motor has a knocking noise. Would like anyone's opinion on what sounds like the problem. It is a rythmic knock like 3-4 knocks, a pause and 3-4 knocks. Engine does same knock on cold startup for less than 2 seconds then fades. When the engine gets really hot from towing...

    Also added Dynomax 17380 3 inch single exit exhaust. Good quality and only $105 after rebate, but the super turbo muffler is too quiet for me. It is still breaking in tho, you can smell the fiberglass. Still going to lift 1 inch higher in front for tire clearance and still need wheel spacers...

    Best negative offset wheels?

    Any 20x12 wheel. -44 offset will give you what your looking for. My personal favorite is the moto metal 962. Or the XD diesel would be another example.

    Hmm makes me wonder if maybe my subframe on the lift is bent or something.

    Keep breaking CV's

    Sorry if I was unclear, I'll take some pics tomorrow and show you what I mean. Basically the differential wasn't mounted right, it was twisted so the passenger side was 2 inches or so farther forward than it's supposed to be causing the axle to have a wierd horizontal angle

    Keep breaking CV's

    I believe I found the issue today. I replaced the duralast cv and got an A1CARDONE from Pepboys. Went to autozone to return the duralast and get an extra one for a spare but they refused to give me one because I've already used 3 but they did give me my money back :) Anyway, put the...

    Keep breaking CV's

    The spacer is probably a tough country thing, without it the bolts that go through the cv to hold it to the axle stub coming out of the diff hit the subframe of the lift. I just put in a new front diff and I impact wrenched the bolts on but i'll see if I can move it all today when I put in my...

    Keep breaking CV's

    I know I could always solid axle swap but it's my daily driver while i'm in college and until I have the funds to pick up an extra car it's not gonna happen. I see that the cv I broke yesterday has the flange cut away from where it mounts and looks like the light duty cv axle for the 2500 6 lug...
