Default 2003 lightning

i have an o3 lightning with about 3500 on and its got exhaust and an air cleaner. so we got on the highway and punched it to 100mph and we pulled into a parking lot and it was making a knocking noise and it might be the flexplate or a broken rod.but we bought it wrecked and when it was wrecked it knock the oil filter off so maybe the truck was running with no oil but idk TELL ME WAT U GUYS THINK thanx for the imput

Welcome to the fourm Could be engine damage if the oil filter got knocked off and was still running. When you first got it how much oil was in it? And did it knock then?

It may be possible you can get it fixed under warranty.

Could the knock be coming from the supercharger? I had a park avenue an the supercharger had a knocking noise.

knocking after oil loss usually means trouble...
