Sounds like rod knock - from the trans?
2001 2500HD 4x4 6.0ltr 4L80 crew cab
Got home from a long trip last week. Got outof the truck and heard what I thought was a valve train issue. Parked the truck and walked away for a week. Crawled under it while idling yesterday and the noise sounded like it was at the flywheel. The "knock" is constant at this point.
Put the truck inthe garage to investigate deaper today and at first it was constant at idle, but went away w/ some rpm's. Got under it today and it really sounds like it is coming from the trans. It also is not constant w/ the idle rpm. It will do it randomly now. Sometimes w/ more RPM, sometime not at all.
What in the trans could cause this?
My plan is to drop the dust cover and disconnect the converter from the flywheel and see if it still does it.

This was a cracked flywheel.

I could only tell the flex plate was cracked by little hair line cracks in the round circles of flex plate.
You'll have to pull the starter to get to converter bolts

Yes the flexplate.
I also was finally able to see the crack. I connected everything back up and the knock was back. I need to have it drivable so I can get it to my buddy's shop to use his lift and trans jack to swap the flexplate out.
