With the truck running you should be able to hear about where its coming from. Have you heard the truck run? Anything with a knock I wouldnt be buying it unless it was cheap. What qualifies the seller to know its a lifter and not the bottom end?

exactly what these guys said, unless hes selling for cheap, I'd be cautious. A bad injector could make one knock, also. Whats the back story on the truck? was it hot rodded?
