So the truck I'm about to purchase has a bad noise to it. What do you guys think it is?

You might have to turn your speaker up pretty high, its right before shift and it does it twice. It does it every time the engine revs high before shift.

sounds like rod knock to me .. but hard to tell with out seeing .

 

i think the head gasket is blown since i think i can smell coolant in the oil. would that cause this noise?

 

Rod knocking. time to dump some lucas in it and sell it j/k, sucks dude.

 

If a rod bearing you may be able to feel the knocking in the metal part of the stick shift. Try shifting using metal section below the knob. Push stick hard into the gear selected, away from neutral, will help pick up the knocking. How may miles on engine?

 

odometer reads 143k, would this require the bottom end to be rebuilt?

 

i guess ill take it by a shop tomorrow and find out what it is.

 

i just talked to my brother in law whos truck it is, he said there should be nothing wrong with that truck. Said it was a new rebuild. I really hope its just something knocking around outside the engine =\ arg i hate vehicle trouble.

 

thats definitely a rod knock, a friend's 22re did the same thing, under load you didn't really hear it, but when you backed off the gas to shift it sounded just like your sound clip

 

its not when im backing off its on the way up to the peak then stops when i let off.

 

knock under load and gone when unloaded is never a good thing unless you are the mechanic and then telling someone the price is not a good thing

 

i was told it was the wrist pin.
