Re: Help, Loud engine noise!

As much as that motor mount made sense... I have my thoughts that it's not that.It's really going down hill.... Burning through gas and oil. And oil is coming out the breather in the valve cover. A lot of power loss I was going up at hill at 55 put the pedal to the floor went know where the motor sounded louder but no rpm or mph increase. May be the end of the old girl.

Re: Help, Loud engine noise!

It sounds silly but check your flywheel cover. My dads came loose on time and it started rattling around and made alot of noise. Its just something simple to check

I was going to take it off today and check the flywheel itself to see if it's bent or cracked

Re: Help, Loud engine noise!

When it starts making noise does the truck still run okay? Does it start missing and lose power at all? Does your drivetain shudder at all?
