take a video. Top end or bottom end?

 

I think this video does a pretty good job of letting you hear it:

mmm bottom end. Have you checked the flexplate bolts aren't hitting the inspection cover or the flexplate is cracked? Can you only hear it at idle? What happens if you stand on the brakes with it in gear and rev it a little? Does the sound go away?

 

I tried that and the sound doesn't go away. It just get faster as the engine revs up.

I have checked all the bolts on the flex plate, and they're all tight. I haven't ruled out a cracked flex plate yet.

 

Well that's unfortunate

 

50-incher came today:

 

Finally got that bad-boy installed!



Bright as HELL!

 

Closeup of the bracket and how I routed the wiring down the windshield seal down to the fender:



Didn't do any drilling!

 

Night pics:

 

That light is BANGIN' man... perfect setup and it looks great up there too!

 

Got it wired up to the factory foglight switch so that the factory switch turns it on instead of some dingleberry switch.

 

And there's my LED light bar switch:



Looks like a clean factory-installed switch!

 

Alright, so regarding the sound in the bottom end...

I unplugged all of the fuel injectors one by one as the engine was running and the knock went away at cylinder 6.

So I believe the issue may be a rod bearing. I'm going to try rolling in new bearings to see if the problem goes away before I completely re-build the thing. Maybe it's not scored too bad yet.

 

It's a slow day today, so I added more switch spots to my factory toggle switch bezel.

A band saw and a soldering iron is all I needed:

 

I'm thinking it came out nicely:
