Message:
Hey I am not going to think to much of this till something breaks. But every so often it seems like my engine knocks. I can hear a little thud like a ticking from in the cab but when I pop the hood I can't hear it. And when I turn my truck wait a little while and fire it up again it goes away. I'm startint to think its normal, is it?

May just be your fuel injectors, I've read others complaining about the newer truck being louder. Dodge changed them in 00 to 21 lb

if wut you are hearing is spark knock, than yea it's normal...mine sounds like it's turbocharged it gets so bad sometimes...it's done it for about a year and nothing has broke yet...if it bothers you too much theres a number of things it could be...start with putin some autolite 3923's in it...it didnt help me any but hey it has cured the problem in other trucks...

Thanks for the info guys, I just replaced my plugs. I threw in 3924's because the store didnt have the 3923. Where would I get the 21 lb injectors. Is there any type of car that I can take them from......save me some cash. haha.

00dak = 2000 Dakota ?
If so you should allready have them, check to see if they are red. They changed sometime in the model year.
