I did not pay 30k plus to have a truck clinck or knock. They put a new fuel pump in.

It did not fix it. Know they say there is notting wrong with it. I traded a Ford Deisel in on it. Late Model, because of the cost of the Fuel. Wished I Hade it back. Now I Have A Truck that sound like it has 100.K plus Miles on It and stll owe on It.
