HELP!! 95 PSD engine knock?
I have a 95 F250 PSD 4X4 5speed. I just got the truck used but it seems to have a knock in the engine. This is the first diesel I have owned so I am not sure if this is the case.
Symptoms: When the truck is slowing down in gear and you do not necessarily hear the engine firing I here a knock,knock,knock kind-of like a gas engine when there is a rod knock. I do not here it over the acceleration of the engine as one would expect.
The engine has great power (at 190K) so I am wondering if it was rebuilt. It does not blow smoke except a very small amount before the turbo kicks in, under a fair amount of acceleration. I did have to put a new tranny in and it was upgraded to new ford specs (ZF s547). The cluch had been updated to a single mass already. It was a LUK cluch. It also has the exhaust system updated to 4" (from the down pipe?) with a magnaflow muffler.
I changed the oil with in 10 miles of buying this truck. Does a rod knock in a diesel sound the same as a gas engine?
Thanks for your help in advance.
