Around 2000 rpm have sound like valves ticking....help
I just got this truck it is a 2001 2wd Quad cab 5spd, the truck has 170k miles on it I picked it up cheap at the auto auction to pull a car hauler trailer with have no idea of previous history, but around 2000 rpm it sounds like the valves are ticking pretty bad, I don't actually know if it could be the valves or something in the turbo...anybody got any ideas, and I am new, so hello to everyone.....Thanks

A friend of mine has the same situation. He said the wheel in the turbo had some play. He put on a new one, but still had a knock so a trucker told him it was the nature of the beast and to try automatic trans. fluid in a tank of fuel. He did and it quit knocking. I still think he needs to take it to a shop though. ???

Do not use ATF fluid as a fuel additive or conditioner. The detergent in ATF has been known to shorten the life of the pump and fuel lines, due to the detergent used in the fluid.
