I was driving and felt a wheel jersey to the left and then the engine started knocking loudly. Higher ram has a grind squeal added in. No engine check light. Is this rod knock, timing, lifters or a transmission issue?

Hi,

The noise could be any of the things you mentioned and more. However, I'm not sure what you mean by wheel jersey. Did you hit a Jersey Barrier?

As far as the noise, do me a favor and look through this link. Let me know if anything matches what you hear,

Also, if you could record and upload it for me to hear, that may help.

Let me know.
