I have a 94 sonoma 4x4 with the 4.3 motor. And I took it through some deep mud had it in first gear and 4 low. And got stuck and after I got out I noticed my oil gage bonceing around. So I parked it and I had a ticking noice. I ended up driving it 20 miles home and it turned in to a real loud knock, thinking it was my motor I took a stethoscope to all the cylenders when it was running and hurd no noise but when I touched it to the inspection plate u could hear the knocking. So I took the inspection plate off to find out the fly wheel was hitting the side of it. But I dont see any cracks in the fly wheel and there is no play. What could this be?

It may have cracked. Before starting it, check for cracks. Also, make sure it didn't come loose. If it was hitting the inspection plate, those are my guess.

Let me know.
