I have a 99 Suburban K1500 4x4, 5.7L. It has 175K miles on it. I drove it sat on about 125 mile trip and parked it in the garage. I started it on Sunday morning and instantly noticed a load knocking noise that appears to be coming from the passenger side of the engine. I am thinking that with the mileage it may be a rod. How can I tell for sure if it is a rod? Is it safe to drive?
