I’ve got so many possibilities floating around in my head from lurking on repair forums.
Piston skirt, flexplate, lifters, power steering pump, wristpin, rod bearing, blah blah blah
At this point I’m trying to find the most likely troubleshooting path. On top of $$$ being limited, my time is as well. I only have a few hours each weekend, and then whatever time off from work I’m willing to sacrifice.
I’m planning on using some 40 weight diesel engine oil next oil change… if it makes it to the next oil change. I’ve read these engine love 40 weight, and I’d like to have the extra goodies floating around. The only reason I’m waiting till the next oil change is to let the MMO have a real chance to clear something out.
One possibility with the oil sender weirdness. It was rather warm those two or three days that the noise was quieter. Down in South Carolina… averaging 30F – 40F these days. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were nice and warm, around 70F.
I’m pretty much a noob at this. So far I’ve been going off of the Haynes manual and what I’ve seen on various forums and youtube videos. I just don’t have the $$$ to take it somewhere.
