Nevada....absolutely no warning at all. Was turning into a parking stall, heard a loud bang when I stopped in the stall then the truck started shaking. Dash lit up...no noises at all...just shaking. Drove 15 miles to the dealership with still no knocking. Even the dealership was surprised how normal the engine sounded.
Although rare, I have read that these engines have thrown a rod at low speeds and or while turning. At least I can say the truck didn't leave me stranded!
