Once or if you find the source of that noise please do let us know---and again hoping its nothing too serious.

so i meet the guy last night and then picked up the motor today .. the guys wifes best friend since childhood had him rebuild the tranny on this 2003 f250 and a week later she rolled it so he took the whole truck as payment ( truck looked messed up it was there ) any who he has done all the maintenance and work to the truck since it was new so its a god motor and he is a diesel mechanic with some major toys that would make us jealous ( ford guy too) so there it is .. in all its effen glory ( this thing is HUGE)

So are you still in the process of removing the old engine or putting the new one in? Looks like a lot of work!
