Great video. Im just starting to hear rodney in my 02 4.8 at startup. No its not lifter. Ima do the same. Its a great truck... old man truck. Worth saving.
How did you do the rod bearings on the top ? The bottom are pretty easy to get because you can remove the cap Thanks for the video, boost of confidence
I used a small flat blade screw driver, I was just careful to keep the blade on the bearing and not the crank, tapped the other end of the screw driver to push the rod out. I also watched a video of a guy using a bent screw (with a rounded head) that could work too
Just bought a 2010 Camaro LT for $2,000 that supposedly has a rod knock. I’m leaning more towards the timing chain. I haven’t gotten it scanned yet. It still has 30-40 psi oil pressure. What you think?
If you’re going to do the timing chain then it would be THAT much work to remove the oil pan. Once the oil pan is off it’s easy to replace rod bearings. (It’s a hit or miss with crank bearing though) Basically, I would check the rods bearings if I’m already doing the timing chain ( THATS JUST ME )
You should first determine why you have a rod knock. They don't happen for no reason, normal wear won't cause rod knock. Either you have an oil starvation issue, or you ran it on low oil.
Emery cloth works great for this also. This reminds me of my high school days where you did whatever it took to keep your ride on the road.
These trucks are bullet proof, mines got 380,000, and just now making bottom end noise. Thanks for posting this.
Good video man!

My guy listening to that Bas in the background. Too High To Riot is most definitely my fav album from him.. I like Milky Way a lot too though..
Awesome video man I heard this was the way the truth and the life as far as rod bearings and such go
Honestly depends on how bad/long your bearings have been spinning, crankshaft condition, oiling holes. Some get lucky, some just needs a rebuild.
Greetings from FIXIT-CARTER, I see you bro, great content way to save a CHEVY!
Thanks tor the video, now its time to get dirty
Awesome video! I'm in the same boat. Still running good??
Runs great man! Been daily driven all quarantine, sounds amazing, surprisingly powerful, just a lovely truck i don’t mind working with.
Great job!
Never going to start unless you put the intake tube on bro... the mass air flow sensor.
It was for oil pressure

Can we see a video of this thing running?
the most common problem that will spin the main bearing is low oil presure worn out oil pump put in a new one would be me addvise
I like your style! 🤙
I appreciate that!
Please, Is there a way to file and measure a journey for the main with the engine in the car?
I’m not sure. I haven’t encountered this one yet

Just subbed
How do you remove the main bearing? Is there a tool for it. Trying to remove it on a H2 hummer
Usually you have to pull the crank. You can research "rolling main bearings" as another option, just be extra careful if you go that route.
@@markdesselle5572 Thanks for replying
How does it run now, did it fix/help?
Yeah I’ve been driving this truck throughout the whole pandemic. No problems yet
@@MotorCityMotorSports you are a beast sir
@@MotorCityMotorSports aye if it doesn't have a knock i don't want it is My New Moto. Guaranteed to get em 4 da low.
@@1blacknation723 4 the lowwww 😂😂😂
@@MotorCityMotorSports I'm on market place rnow looking for some "Knockers"😁😁

He covered that in the beginning
Did you need a different size bearing after sanding?
Never mind just hit that part of the video
Does the bent nail or bent screw process work for the endcap bearings also
Yes just make sure no to scratch anything, it might be better to invest in something slim but strong enough to work with ( I’m not sure, sorry )
Did you have low oil pressure? Is that why you did this work?
I had low oil pressure and a knocking sound coming from the lower part of the motor.
@@MotorCityMotorSports how long did it last after this job bro ?
@tynandill926 I drive the truck to work almost everyday… still works fine
@@MotorCityMotorSports bet I'm doing mine. I only have one with play, should I change them all or only that one ?
@@MotorCityMotorSports You only changed one ?
