Knocking sound
Hey all. I'm new in here but not to LS1tech. I've got a 99 Silverado Z71 w/ the 5.3. Yesterday a friend of mine and I put a Flowmaster on my truck and when we started it back up it had a knocking sound. It sounded just like a bad rod bearing. You had to give it a little throttle and when it came back down you could hear it. It wasn't doing it while idling though. I drove it down the road maybe half a mile and got back and it stopped. Has anyone heard of the 5.3's making this kind of noise? Pushrod? Other than the Flow it's stock with 99K on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
