Is this the infamous diesel sound of the 5.7

Good morning guys,
I recently bought a 13 lx with 46000 miles. Going through all of the fluids and oil change. Noticed a slight knock at low speeds. Anyone have this sound.

sad to say, I'm in this club.. 5.7 diesel I have not pursued it yet to figure it out. Timing chain? rod? who knows...

Well, I guess we will have to live with it.

Sounds normal to me. Somewhere around 700k-800k I would imagine it will require a trip to the dealer.

hopefully thats the plan, Convinced my wife we needed it due to having another baby on the way. Eventually it will be one of their first trucks.

Yep, it might even be handed down to their kids!
