    Curse you Perry the Platypus!
    Every now and then my 5.7 makes this loud knocking sound and I think it is coming from a vvti solenoid. (circled in red, I believe) Anyone ever replaced one before? If so, is it an easy job? I'm all ears if anyone has any experience...

    No codes have been thrown but in case I am right, I'm curious what kind of job I'm looking at.

    Can you post a video with your truck's engine running?

    Man that's much cleaner than my '16.
    Looks like a new car.
    Do you clean it as often as you brush your teeth? lol

    Ok, I was thinking maybe you are OCD like most on this site and there is no real noise. :D

    Hopefully others can help you!
