 I have a 2005 SE Titan with 10,000 miles on it. I have asked the dealer to check for an engine knock since it was new. The engine has a knock for 4-12 seconds when first started in the morning or after sitting for 10 hours or so. The knock is loud and the dealer has admitted to hearing the knock but claims that it is OK.

Does anyone else have this problem?? They claim that it comes from the cam housings? It sure sounds like it could cause engine damage in the future. I'm starting to think that the only way to solve the problem is with a lemon law attorney! I live in Florida.

  I get a hesitation when starting out with a cold engine, but no knock.  It happens between 1000 & 1400 rpm and last for about 15 seconds.  If I give it more throttle it will not happen.  Never bothered with trying to get it serviced because I doubt they will find anything wrong and the duration of it is to short.  Other Titan owners have also said they have the same problem, but not everyone I've ask.  Knocking does not sound though.  Hopefully someone on here will be able to help you soon.
