Your words (knocking loud) sujests vacumn leak > If you have no serious dammage to any vacumn hoses I'd bet money your problem is the metal pan under your aluminun intake > You best fix it very soon if it's as bad as your making it sound before internal engine dammage gets hold of your wallet >

I've owned the 3.9L and now have an R/T. I know the manual says the motor was designed to run o.k. on 87 octane but that's a bunch of crap! I run premium and it's worth every penny. Do the math, you're not saving much by upgrading. And the performance is much better. We're talking a couple bucks per fill up.
