ok little more info when the truck is running and i give it gas from on throttle at the intake and i can feel the knocking through the top and it get louder when i give it gas but the knocking isn't at the same rpm as the rev. oh and you can hear it better on the driver side. so any help would be good. thanks!:banghead:

or a collapsed lifter. Run your truck with the valve cover off and at idle, touch the top of each rocker. You should be able to find the knock.
