Long time lurker here, thank you very much for all of your valued knowledge.
Was cruising down the highway today not pushing it at all at about 1800 RPM and all of a sudden started making an instant knocking noise.
No vibrations though.
Wishful thinking as Sounded like possibly part of my serpentine belt had let go and was methodically whipping against something under the hood. No such Frikkin luck.
Crawled at idle for one minute to parking spot and took this quick video clip before shutting her off.
Quite mechanically inclined but does sound like bad bottom end knock.
It’s a 2014 ram. 224,000 km on her.
Egr deleted 80k ago and brand new clean manifold installed along with recall new hpfp 1000 km ago. Religious regular oil changes. 15w50 rotella t . EOC stage 1 delete for past 20,000 km.
Based on your guys knowledge, am I hooped ?
No metal shavings when drained oil, either in oil or on drain plug. any hope at all based on my description and video she can be saved?
Based in Vancouver BC.
Thank you as any input here will be welcomed.
