Hello folks! Long time lurker, first time poster!

I recently purchased a 2000 tundra and was driving along when it became gutless on the freeway. I changed the plugs and did an oil change but now there is a noise similar to knocking coming from behind the engine. At first it seemed like rod knock, but it is uneven and doesn't get worse when i rev the engine.


here's a video of the noise and it getting louder under the truck.

That's a rod bearing gone bad my friend

Here's the same truck but the noise is basically gone.

Is it still gutless?

Nope, runs fine now, afraid to slam on gas though in case it is flex plate related. But noise comes and goes.
