A loud knocking noise in your S-10 could be caused by several issues, such as a failing engine component like a rod or bearing, loose or damaged exhaust parts, or even worn suspension components. It’s important to diagnose the source of the noise quickly, as ignoring it could lead to more serious engine damage. Check for any warning lights on the dashboard and consider consulting a mechanic to assess the situation properly. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues from arising.
if the engine is knocking really loud you probably need to overhaul the entire engine or get a new or used engine because loud knocking is not good

It probably needs to be greased.
Make sure it's topped off with 80 weight gear oil. But to answer your question, you diagnose the noise it's making to decide what is wrong with it.
