I had a bad clutch fan and they replaced a leaking waterpump while down there. It fixed the problem.
Hope this helps.

I had to change out what apparently was a bad battery. Upon doing so, my car's system engine lights and Reduced Engine Power lights came on. I had it tested, and
was recommended to change the faulty Throttle Body. I bought a used one, put it on and now its still behaving the same, only now also I cannot shift out of park. Are these two related? I think I have a bad used throttle body, but now I can't even drive at 14 miles an hour to the shop. recommendations? Car just hit 112,000 and I did try to reset the computer several times.
Did anyone actually find out what was wrong with #6 cylinder? Bad valve? Hole in the top of the piston? Cracked block? Anything?
When we use the electric windows we get a reduction in engine power.
Thanks Rich
I have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer with the same knocking noise and the mechanic just told me he thought it was a rod in the engine and I'd need a whole new motor.
Please let me know. Thanks.

People told me it probably the fan clutch (which is a common failure of this vehicle.) Mine was ok.
Other people told me it might be the CV joints. But CV Joints really only make clicking noises when you turn because it stretches the joints withing the boots (also bad joints usually have broken boots and grease will be seen EVERYWHERE).
So I assumed it was either loose bolts or bad wheel hubs. So I took the driver side wheel off. Turned the wheel hub slowly and heard the noise. I tracked the noise to my front Differential (were the driver's side cv joint connects). Upon further review my front differential had a huge crack and all the liquid had poured out. It caused the gears to dry out and rust and break...causing the clicking.
Hopefully your noise is just bolts, or wheel hubs, or the cv joints. The front differential is not something that can be done at home. Used one I got is $300 and about $300 for install.
Good luck. Hope this helps you.
