  1. I have 15,000 on my 07. I do hear some kind of noise from the engine at idle but I wouldnt call it knock. To me a knock is bottom end. connecting rod related. Or main bearing. I do hear more of a mechanical clicking. Not like a spark arching but I keep thinking it might be injector noise. Its done it since day one so I just consider it normal. I am using the mobil one filters at 5,000 mile intervals with full synth from walmart. either Pennsoil or Valvoline. Grease at the same time but it only takes a couple pumps. I get 14 to 15 mpg over all. Never check when pulling the boat. Dont care. I notice some guys feel they get good power and some say they have a dog. My engine runs like a top..pulls great.. sounds like a nascar engine when I put it to the wood. But...if I drive it gently the gearing and trans management program make it feel like a dog. But when I step on it it goes like hell. All in all I love the truck. reg. cab long bed 4x4 3/4 ton. The only complaint I have is the gay assed 245 tires. Im just ready to rotate them at 15,000 and they only have minor wear. A bit of saw tooth on the fronts and a cut I put on one of the rears. I just cant wait to put 265's on to get a bit more muscle under there. Im not spending a grand for new wheels and I fully intend to wear these duravis out before I replace them but I hate the way they look. I would like them fine if they were 265's. Im just hoping Obama doesnt make it too expensive to keep running it. Im 53, I dont use the truck too hard, do fanatical maintainance...I plan on having it till death do us part. Upgrade to this: I now have 38,000 miles. Still going strong. Just put 265 75 16 Goodyear Dura Tracs on. Great in the snow. Not too noisy. Dropped to 12 MPG but it is winter and thats an average including quite a bit of running in 4x4 with all the snow this year. Still lovin the truck. I found that I drive most of the time in manual mode to overcome the jack assed shift program in the tranny. No problems with this and I just make it be in the gear I want. Were both much happier that way.
