Knock in the engine that comes and goes the oil pressure is on the low side and you had lots of recent repairs around the engine are you losing your engine?
well a couple things could be wrong depending on what year. if it is a hydraulic lifter then the oil pressure might not be high enough for the oil to reach the lifter causing a knock. another problem could be that your rod and main bearings could be worn out causing a knock and low oil pressure.

Why is your 94 Caprice running fine and occasionally losing oil pressure and dying?
What happens first? Pressure/Engine Dying? Has the oil always been changed? If not oil will form sludge, when the oil is finally changed, the detergent in the new oil breaks free the sludge which can get sucked into the oil pump intake. this would cause an immediate loss of oil pressure and engine issues. Thats been my experience with sudden oil pressure loss issues. Dan

2003 silverado engine bogs when warm acts like itis losing power starving for for gas it is a 4.8?
Check fuel pressure when it's bogged down like that. If the pressure drops it could be the fuel filter or the fuel pump. Unfortunately, if it's the filter it won't necessarily drop in pressure until you're driving.
