Does this sound normal?

Ok, I have had issues with my truck that started when I got it stuck and it had to spend the night stuck. (pictures are in my album) When I git the truck out the next morning, It just didn't sound right. A few days later, my high pressure turbo went out. I replaced the turbos, cleaned the DPF filter to get all the accumulated oil out of it. Now, when I start the truck, it seems to be ticking louder than it used to. I may just be paranoid, but I wanted your opinions. The only mod on the truck is the performance tune from Superchips. The only codes I am getting are with the DPF which is from either the sensor being bad (from being under water all night) the DPF being bad (same reason) or I just need to drive the truck to let it finish the regen. After turbo replacement I drove it about 20 miles and it said finished cleaning exhaust filter. All the power came back and all was good. On the drive home it went back into regen and didn't finish before I made it home. Bad weather has prevented me from being able to drive the 40mph to see if it just needs to finish the second one. Anyway, I am going to try to post a video I shot with my phone. Let me know what you think.

Was the DPF soaked with water? I read in another forum a guy pressure washed his DPF and the first thing that happened was a drive to clean exhaust until all of the water dried out.

Yes, it was under water and I had to pressure wash mine to remove the oil from a failed turbo seal.
