yes it sounds like it is under the valve cover . the oil is comeing from the valve cover also.sometimes when it warms up it will smoth out a little. but the poping sound the exaust makes is constant. if it is a valve does it cost a lot to fix one? can it be done by a home mec. i know gas motors but not diesel. or should i take it to a shop? thanks

feel around the back of the valve cover ,maybe the push rod is trying to escape thru the valve cover <hope not>.mine did the same thing and i found the end of the push rod protruding out of it.the valve was not working on that clyinder

Were you able to fix it relatively easily? I'm thinking about buying one doing a similar thing, but just a little lifter noise and a "poot-poot-poot" at the exhaust. Truck seems to run good with lots of power.
