For anyone who is asking! Can this be fixed?!? Yes, I've replaced rod and main bearing on an 88 dodge ram and it ran just fine after I replaced the bearing.
This is rod knock, not engine knock. Engine knock is the air fuel mixutre igniting when it shouldn't. Usually, this is caused by too much cylinder pressure or not enough octane, and this causes a knocking or pinging sound. Many modern vehicles have knock sensors that can detect this and the ecm can retard ignition timing to prevent catastrophic engine failure.
Or could I possibly send u a video of mines I’m a dad just got this and my new job I loose this truck I loose a lot I’m trynna get to the bottom of this
I have a Mercedes B200 2008 that recommends octane 91 fuel and higher but I've been using the lower grade octane (85 or 88) since I bought the car in 2009. Is it good or bad? Should I switch to higher octane or its too late?
Don’t need too but I’ve notice that since I switch the engine sounds better and you get a slight performance boost with more mpg so I would say do the switch
