Knocking or banging noise

On my 2006 Blazer, I hear a knocking or flapping noise when I am riding around 45 mph. The noise sounds like it coming from under the truck maybe from the rear. Sometimes it sounds like it's coming form the front. And the check engine light comes on and stays on and the next day it will be off. Can anyone tell me what this problem could be?

There is really no way to know what the noise is, you must have it inspected and well you have it in the shop have the engine control computer scanned for fault codes, when the CEL is on the system will set a fault code for the problem that turned on the Check Eng. Light.

replace the front u joint. I had the same issue with my truck, and I noticed that the front u joint didn't come stock with a greese zerk, the oem replacement does so they wear out fast. by the time I found it, it still looked ok till I removed the drive shaft....It was very close to wearing through.

Check your tires for belt shift and clean the inside of the rims for dirt buildup.

SOURCE: There is a loud noise at 45mph.

Find a quiet empty stretch of road. Go 50 mph, put the trans in NEUTRAL and shut the engine. If noise is still there, swing car left and right to detect noise differences. Could be hub or axle bearings. Not engine or trans if noise is still there. Hope this helps

I hav a knocking noise under the hood of my jeep cherokee. I recently had the upper ball joints replaced and the knocking stop for a while and now its back full force. The noise sounds like its coming...

Knocking in the engine varies from simple failure to detonate to you are about to throw a rod. This is something that can be difficult to diagnose and if misdiagnosed, costly to repair. I would take that in to a mechanic as soon as possible. Barring that, I would check all your spark plugs.

Knocking noinse

Sounds like a bad rod bearing. Doing an oil change with halfway decent oil will "disguise" the sound but is still there. Check oil pressure when car is warm, if u are getting a low reading it's definately rod bearing (s). Car must be completely warm. Drive around for ten fifteen minutes, then check.

This is hard to say with hearing the noise but try to pin point the noise , is it coming from the top or bottom of the motor , the knocking noise could be a bearing in the lower motor or may be something else making it sound like a bearing,

2002 BLAZER WHEN STARTING VEHICLE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READS HIGH, KNOCKING COMING FROM ENGINE, WHEN ACCELERATING IT GETS FASTER & FEELS LIKE LOOSING POWER WHEN DECELERATING

Bang on the catalytic converter being careful not to get burnt and see if it's loose causing a rattle. Until you determind what the problem is don't drive the vehicle. The other possibility is that you may need an engine. If what you're hearing us a connecting rid knock.

My motor is making a tapping noise in the engine what could it be possibly

Could be a push rod, or other things like that. knock means something in your engine has come loose or is broken, the knocking you hear is that piece of metal banging around in your engine. the longer you let it knock or tap the more damage it does.

Chevrolet Blazer sound

The origin of this noise is the muffler, it's outer shell expands when it gets out, once you switch off the car it rapidly cools down, and that causes the noise you here.
