knock

So first of thank you all for the help I’ve received on reviewing past threads about varies problems. A little back story. 3 weeks ago I purchased a beauty of a 2011 Ford Explorer limited with all assesory packages added for a great deal. Drove it off the lot no issues. And then a few days later...

2003 Merc Mountaineer Premier 4.6 The engine was knocking about 3 weeks ago and it was determined the belt tensioner failed so i changed that. I didn’t change the belt at that time. Now a few weeks later the engine is knocking but I can’t ID where it’s coming from. Its definitely a knock (not a...

I have a 92 ford explorer v6 4x4 5 speed. I did a oil change to it a couple weeks ago and it started making a "knocking noise" so I decided to go till next oil change and open up the filter which had no metal nor did the oil have any that I could notice. It only makes its peak loudness at 900...

Greetings all: I am sending this note in for general info. I saw a youtube vid called "Seafoam. I can't believe what it did to my engine". The guy in the vid Seafoams an old Ranger. I am presenty driving an 05 ram 1500 with a 3.7L gas engine. The darn thing sounds like a diesel powered...

I have an very strong tick that seems to be coming from the drivers side valve cover..... @ idle it is very quiet or silent....but as the engine speeds up some - it I very clear between 1,000 and 1,500 RPM - then it fades away above this. Does not make the tick - when the engine is started...

Hi there, current issue with the truck is... There is a knocking sound, seemingly coming from the bell housing. Background is: I traded a van for the ST, ST ran like crap, changed plugs and wires. Plug on driver side rearmost cyl. broke, shoulders and all. Shop removed threads and...

So just finished my engine swap '98 into a '01. Starts up great but I've got a weird knocking coming from the bell housing. It's random and less frequent in park and neutral. In reverse and drive though it creates engine shaking and the truck dies.i torqued down the flywheel buts to converter to...

well as the title reads i believe that i have blown my engine but im not entirely sure. about 2 weeks ago i heard a pop in the engine bay while driving followed by a terrible knocking/banging noise and the heavy scent of gas. after getting it off the road i checked the codes and it had said that...

hey everyone, kind of stuck in a jam here. was driving around today when out of nowhere the engine in my 04 4.0 started a violent knock. it threw a misfire code for the 3rd cylinder and i swapped the plug. now it is still knocking and there is a distinct smell of gas. can someone please...

I have been driving my explorer for about 2 years now, but it has been in my family (My dad drove it) since 1998. Other than some small issues like replacing tires and a couple other things, I haven't had much trouble. Recently, I have been hearing a knock/thud noise from the front end when I...

Hello, My 1992 Eddie Bauer Explorer's engine purrs along perfectly when the vehicle is in neutral or park. When I put it in gear (and the engine is warm) there is a knocking sound from underneath whenever I have my foot on the brake. When I start driving, it goes away. It doesn't happen...

As an FYI for those chasing the various crazy to diagnose oil leak our rigs develop, I just discovered the cause of one of mine I'd like to share. When replacing the heads, with new aftermarket heads, and all the gaskets, I failed to notice that the LIM gasket fit a little skewed so that one...

Hi, my name is Jason I'm new on here and I'm looking for some help. I just recently got a 04 Mountaineer 4.6 it has 225,x.. miles on it has newer engine This thing runs great while driving but at idle it almost feels like it has a miss??? It also has a faint knock to it??? The trans makes a...

I am new to Explorers and this site, hopefully I do this right. I have an 03, Explorer with a 4.6, and need an engine replacement (serious lower end noise). I have found a 2006 4.6 with low miles from a rolled car. Is there any way to make the engine and transmission work from the 2006? If...

So... I'll start at the beginning. For a couple years now my 4.0 makes a knocking, or perhaps pinging noise if I am driving up a long grade. Its only while its under power, If I let off the gas it stops. Gear/RPM does not seam to matter. Last summer it started running hot. I noticed my...

Ok, I surrender. The knock is been deduced to be a collapsed lifter. It is worse when warm - much - but not always. I am thinking of going in and replacing 1 lifter, as I simply cannot afford to do more. I assume that pulling off the rocker cover will reveal the shot lifter? :( Is this a one...
