Engine knock
Engine knocks when I start the engine cold, volume increases when backing down the driveway, then stops after 1-2 minutes of engine warming up. Noise disappears faster when I idle in neutral and increase rpm's to 2000 to 3000. After engine is warm I cannot detect knocking, but engine will knock again after start-up (but for a shorter period of time). Sounds like a valve to me, but I'm not mechanically inclined. Any suggestions on what the problem is and potential solutions to.
Thanks in advance!

sounds like a problem many have reported with a family of GM engines. I don't know what people are doing about this, there is some type of class action lawsuit pending, otherwise, I think GM claims this to be a "normal" occurence.
Sorry, I hope I never have that happen to mine.
