Chatter Normal?
I have a 01 ps with 91,000 which is new to me. My question is I notice a clatter much like noisy rockers even after the motor is warmed up mostly under load and wonder if this is normal PS diesel noise. I heard once about a term called "Chatter" refering to a insufficent fuel supply problem to the number 8 cylinder due to a design flaw.
I dont see much on the topic but read it is inherant to the PS and there are shops that can retrofit the fuel system with larger lines to supply more fuel and thus eliminate the chatter. I read Fords fix is a "reverse injector" but this deminishes the out put of that cylinder. Anyone familiar with this issue, or recognize my noise as normal?

Mine makes a noise at light throttle that sounds like valve tappets rattling, coming and going in pulses, and especially if I am turning a curve or corner at light throttle. Little annoying, but I just ignore it, as the engine seems to be running just fine. I was told years ago to just close your ears to a diesel's noises, or it would drive you batty.
