After starting my Jeep Cherokee after a brief stop at the store yesterday (less than 20 minutes) the car began shaking very hard and when I put it in drive it had a very difficult time going- making the shaking worse. I drove it around the parking lot slowly for a couple of minutes before pulling out in to traffic. After driving for about 10 minutes a knocking noise began under my hood. After driving for about 10 more minutes the knocking noise had gotten louder. I coasted down my street in neutral with this horrible noise and haven't gotten back in my Jeep since then! Any ideas? Also, earlier that day I had the radiator replaced and the line flushed. My Jeep is a 2001 with 115,000 miles on it and I put a new engine in it in May 2007. Thanks.
 
Check the oil fluid level(not running)and the oil pressure(running)

Also check and see what your engine temperature is running
it should not be over 220 degrees

double check and make sure it has plenty of anti-freeze in the
radiator. It's possible they forgot to close the draining pitcock
