    vehicle knocking while idling, but otherwise runs great, ??

    Okay gotcha. The engine light did flash months ago which I was told is caused my a misfire, but then never did it again. But something is definitely messing up. .. thanks!!

    vehicle knocking while idling, but otherwise runs great, ??

    Thanks you so much! I just ran it for about 5-10 mins, and I realized it doesn't really "knock", but just runs a bit rough (which seems to be what it has been doing along). For example, I revved it up (in Park) and when the RPMs ramped up, and then when I eased off the gas, it sounded rough...

    vehicle knocking while idling, but otherwise runs great, ??

    Hmmm......it's not just a light tapping sound if that's what you mean. It "knocks" pretty hard. And it's only started doing it a few months ago. The engine temp is always below the mid point. I don't know how to narrow it down. I don't know anything about trucks. :(

    vehicle knocking while idling, but otherwise runs great, ??

    I think it's the top. I use 5W-30 as specified on a sticker on the engine. What is the difference? Oh and it has 161k miles. :)

    vehicle knocking while idling, but otherwise runs great, ??

    My check engine light has *not* flashed in months. I do however notice when idling, it knocks. But when I get going, it seems to run great. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? I was going to use Seafoam, but I wanted to ask here first. Thanks!!

    question about oil gauge on dashboard, 2005 XLT

    Great, thanks! I was thinking that. My needle stays around 3/4. Is that okay?

    question about oil gauge on dashboard, 2005 XLT

    This is probably really simple, but I was wondering what the oil gauge means on my 2005 XLT dashboard? It has an "H" and an "L" and is normally above the middle point. Is this temperature, pressure, amount of oil in the crank case, or what? Also, what level should the gauge needle normally be...

    2005, check engine light slow blink then solid again after hard acceleration?

    Thank you for the detailed info! I bought the truck the middle of last year and this is the second misfire. I am planning on getting it fixed and then replace all the spark plugs. I know almost nothing about fixing vehicles, so I'm only driving it when absolutely needed and taking it to the...

    On top of the spark plugs? I'm a computer tech, not a mechanic. :)

    2005 XLT not cranking after it was bitter cold for a week?

    Okay gotcha. Just strange as it worked perfectly before, and the only thing different was that it had been really cold the past week...

    2005 XLT not cranking after it was bitter cold for a week?

    I hadn't cranked my 2005 XLT for a bit, and it was around 25 degrees F for like a week. Then when I tried to crank it, it turned a couple times, but wouldn't start. I jumped it, and it ran perfectly thereafter, and cranked just fine the whole rest of the day. Comments? Is this normal? The...

    2005, check engine light slow blink then solid again after hard acceleration?

    I'm pretty sure it's a misfire. Next time I go out I'll stop my mechanic to double check (he's on the main road about 6 miles). Thanks!

    2005, check engine light slow blink then solid again after hard acceleration?

    Cool. We are trying to budget to get a brand set of plugs and fix what is causing the misfire (last time he said it was a "cold pack").

    k cool. My g/f does the budget and we have enough to get it fixed, then in March, all new spark plugs. Will see if we can squeezer in a code reader at some point. :)
