To make this a short story truck runs right no missing or backfiring, has a knocking noise coming from the bottom in oil pan, I can put my hand up against the oil pan and feel it knocking, now im thinking I lost a connecting rod bearing am I right? This is all in my daily driver 96 k1500 5.7 4wd, if anybody could help out before I get a trailer to take it to my dads to work on it cause I cant do it at my apartment people here whine to much.

 

well did some more checkn and research sounds like it is rod bearings, I checked the oil and it looked like had metal shavings kinda looked like black shavings but just changed oil last weekend

 

Spun bearing is my guess. Sorry.

 

prolly knowing my luck guess i will just put a 5.3 in it now

 

How's your oil pressure?

 

any update on this? why not do a 6.0 swap over a 5.3?

 

Damn!!! sorry for your luck. 5.3 vs 6.0 swaps are only a few hundered dollars more. I would go with a 6.0 and forget about it.

 

Oil pressure was good ran like nothing wrong but here comes the bad trying to get it to my dads, I was babing it to get it there to see what was really wrong, then I smelt gas through the vents so I pulled over to what was wrong now, with so much anger I pop the hood started to open it and noticed a flame wish I could post up the pics it was blazing and smoked like crazy owell this truck wasnt ment to be had it a whole 27 days and 2 hours
