| Update on my truck. when you turn the pully on the crank and hold the flywheel with a screwdriver it has a little slop so i think it has a busted crank but dont know til i get the battery hooked up and see if the starter will work after i beat on it with a hammer. if its still knocking i am thinking bout a cummins swap | |

| I have been talking to other people and they have been saying it could be the bushings in the front pully. | |

| YEAH i would prefer 4wd as well.. if you find another 2wd one for cheap it is rather easy to make it 4wd... you can get a crossmember from sky offroad products and get a front axle and fab it up yourself... it is a pretty straight forward swap as long as you donr plan on going crazy high with a lift and all.. | |
