I got a 2004 xlt super cab 189k miles with the 3.0 and its got a little knocking noise. It only comes out when it’s fully warmed up. It is loudest at idle and when i let off the gas pedal. Also when i slightly apply the smallest amount of throttle. I put in new crankshaft and camshaft position sensors and upped the oil thickness to 5w30 but no luck. You can hear it from the hood, but its loudest under the truck and in through the right front passenger wheel well. I have tried the stethoscope but i don’t think im pinpointing the noise very well. It does get faster through rpms. So somethings definitely hitting something. Anything i can do to test exactly where the sound is coming from? The truck has had a new rear main seal put in.
