Engine has been clicking for about a week, I could barely hear it, While eating lunch today, I was parked with the truck idling. A few seconds after finishing the wopper jr, the engine made some funky noises "pop, bang"! Engine started running rough, with a loud chugga chugga that increased with the rpm. Pedestrians wipped their necks around as the wounded machine landed in my driveway!
I am not a mechanic, but the noise seems to be coming from one of the back valve covers! I know that the truck can't be driven like this and thought u might have some good advice for me!

Thank you,
Trenton Douglas
