1994 Isuzu Rodeo LS from North America - Comments

I have a 94 Rodeo with 236Ks on it. For awhile it had a horrible squeak like rattling sound coming from the drivers side. It sounded like a rock or pebble was stuck somewhere. Anyways it suddenly stopped and now there is a loud ticking coming from that side. It stops at 3000revs any lower and it is there again. I have tried to see where it is, top end or bottom end and I think it is bottom end. I am an elderly lady and not to versed with engines. Any ideas out there? P.S. It is not the lifters.

I also read about a bracket on the passenger side exhaust in front of the cat that has a round weight like thing that will cause a tick if it is broken and hanging against the exhaust.

I am getting ready to get my sister isuzu rodeo for free yeah! It is either a 94-96. She has rode it hard and put it away wet as the saying goes. What kind of gas mileage on the average can I expect. thank of any input.
