Knock from injector or something else?
So I've got myself convinced I've been hearing a knock of some sort recently and have spent a bunch of time here reading about possible causes. Problem is I can't always hear anything. Truck is running great and we recently towed our Airstream over the Cascades at Blewett Pass without problem. The truck got 13.5 mpg (hand calculated). Just curious if anyone can hear any alarming sounds in my linked video I took last night.
Tugly, if you catch this I could sure use your experience.

Neither yet, but those are what I was thinking I should try first.

I hear air-in-fuel cackle near #8 (closest to driver). If you have a problem, the place to hear it is under the truck (in gear, brake on). This is what an injector problem sounds like:

It was 90 here this morning, but now everything's falling... the temp, the barometer, and the rain. This is very bad at cherry harvest time. I was going to tinker with the truck today, but the lightning and thunder threw in their two senses.

By the way, after spending the last week catching up on some (not nearly all) of your posts, I've got serious PMS. I find myself contemplating a 38R and injectors (after I get all the basics sorted out of course).

Seattle has a heat advisory cause it's gonna be almost 90. Cracks me up. I grew up in Sacramento, California where heat advisories were reserved for 105+.

Anybody who wants to follow my lead needs therapy almost as much as I do.
I did the Seattle thing, the Sacramento thing, the Vegas thing, and the Fresno thing. Seattle cracks me up... but with that temp, the humidity is as bad as Houston.
