don't know where to start

People are telling me that my truck is loud (diesel knock) what could it be? It doesn<t smoke on the road, and it seems to have normal smoke at startup. No oil loss, good glow plugs, fire at every plug. What could be this knock? Could it be a bad injector?

Hi,

a diesel is loud when you start it in the morning. Especially when it's icecold. You can't do anything.
My truck is a alarm clock for my meighbours, when I start the truck in the morning to drive to work they know they have to get up......

If I don't have to work.....it could be that they oversleep

Have your timing checked.Could also be a bad injector or two.Also check your exhaust man gaskets and joins.Good luck.
