It's probably an intake gasket. I've had the issue on 2001 SOHV 4.0 during the cold. Removed the top part of the intake to get to the gasket and found it to be cracked, this allowed for poor gas/air mixture, after running for awhile the gasket would expand and I would not have the problem, but needs to be fixed asap. Get an exact match intake gasket from your local autoparts store and get a repair manual for your model.

What make your engine knock until it warm up?

Typically vehicles that use hydraulic lifters & have more miles on them, tend to have a tapping sound until the engine is "warmed up." The hydraulic valve train is designed to eliminate the gap at all operating temperatures, though overtime the lifters wear out and don't fill with oil as quickly resulting in the tapping sound you hear until the engine has warmed up, and the lifters have been properly filled and lubricated.

During cold conditions especially in the morning the diesel engine when you start it it runs so rough i want to know why this is so?

In cold conditions, diesel engines can run rough at startup due to several factors. Firstly, low temperatures can cause the fuel to thicken, making it less efficient for combustion. Additionally, the viscosity of engine oil increases in cold weather, leading to increased friction and sluggish engine performance. Moreover, cold temperatures can affect the glow plugs, which are essential for pre-heating the combustion chamber, resulting in incomplete combustion and rough running until the engine warms up.
