1989 chevy truck
okay i know this is not an astro but this is serious: it is a 1989 chevy k-1500 ext. cab. 4 wheel drive with the 350 v-8 it is a z-71 truck. here is the problem when cold there is no adnormal noises but when warmed up it seems to be making a knocking noise a idle when in gear with foot on brake but in park there is no knocking noise when rev there is no knocking noise.
bryan in oklahoma i have a 1992 chevy astro with 174,000 miles runs and drives very good with a couple of issues nothing major future mods: 350 smallblock v-8 simple and easy!!, tach, rims and others!!current mods:15%tinted windows

Re: 1989 chevy truck
here is more info. when i slowly brake to a stop there is no knock when i push the gas very little i feel the trans and engine shift back it then sounds like a knock also if i brake fast i feel the same thing but it feels like it shifts forward. weird.

Re: 1989 chevy truck
I like Rob's first suggestion, check the motor mounts first thing
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.
