    Hi

    I’m new to this thread I’m not sure if I am having problems with my truck or not it’s been making a weird noise. After I get it started and take off then come to a stop while it’s really cold outside I might mention my truck is making a knocking sound that sounds like the cylinders aren’t firing correctly then it will come and go once the engine is warm. About a month a go I changed my spark plugs with Denso iridium plugs and so I started to listen to my truck more so I’m not sure if it was this way before I changed them Or I screwed something up when I changed them I will upload a auto file to help but bare in mind it’s very faint so you will have to really listen

    Welcome to TW! I'd double check the spark plugs to make sure they are all tightened down correctly.

    I did that already and it’s still there and it seems like the noise seems to be coming from the drivers side
