this is a sad story... I have a 1997 dodge ram 1500 club cab, 4X4, 5.9L Magnum V8, 8' bed, SLT Laramie features, the HD tow package beautiful truck, i decided to get my oil changed and was working 12 hrs a day 7 days a week so i had it changed at the first place i could get into fast. walmart oil change.... they did the job and less then a month later im driving home from work and the engine sounds like metal to metal. I added a quart of oil just to get home to do repairs. once home i did a complete engine flush with fresh oil and filter, drained, and replaced. i have a horrible knocking noise and figure its a rod knock. im at a toss up whether i should sell my beloved truck, or have it repaired. To put in a used engine will cost me $1500-2000 (which i cant afford until summer comes back around and im back to working construction). I decided to post on craigslist (sobbing badly on the wifes shoulder) could it be its not a rod knock? landlord is gonna tow it...what should I do?
