What are the tell, tell signs, that you may have blown a rod. Going up hill, ( not pushing speed, around 45mph) heard slight wine, truck started to vibrate. Made it home, but when starting truck, sounds extreamly loud. No sign of oil leak.

If the knocking is coming from the lower part of the engine-could be a rod/main bearings-check oil pressure-
