could be a bearing going out could be belt if the belt has more then 10 cracks per inch on the little ribs it needs changing.

The same thing happened to me last year, I was going nuts trying to solve that problem.

I have a tick & knock coming from my engine for the last 80,000 miles & can't find it. I have had several mechanics look & listen also & they are left with a mystery like me. I've heard everything from broken piston to lifter to main bearings & everything between. But it keeps running & knocking never gets worse or changes in 80,000 miles. I run it every month on a 1300 mile round trip. This coming month 3200 miles of road trips. Each is a 10 hour straight through run stopping only for gas. Don't tell me these Blazers aren't built Chevy tough.
