Need Help With Knocking Noise
I have a knocking noise that is coming from what seems like the bottom of the motor. The noise starts about 2-3 minutes after I start the motor and continues untill I turn it off. I have had two mechanics look at it with two different opinions. The first guy told me it was probably the lifters and not to worry because it would go away. The other guy said it was probably the catalytic converter. However, I am a little concerned with two different ideas of what is wrong. Could it be something different? Thanks.

If it was a bad engine mount , you would hear the cooling fan hit the radiator shroud whenever you started moving the truck forward or reverse (forgot which way the engine spins)

thats even worse...if it sounds like its coming from the oil pan you got a rod bearing knock you need to start thinking about a replacement motor...maybe a 5.0?
