Rap Rap Rap

Hi, When I back my truck (03 F-250 6.0 PSD CC) to hook to the race car trailer sometimes I get this rap rap rap and bucking from the engine. Dirty injectors maybe? I bought a bottle of Diesel Kleen for injectors and cetane boost. Is this stuff worth the money?
Thanks Robert

IMO, Diesel Kleen is worth every penny. I buy mine from Wally world for just under $5 for 32 oz. By my math, it adds about $.05 per gallon to your fuel costs at the 32 oz per 100 gal mix ratio, but I've seen many posts here that tout mileage gains of at least 1 mpg, which more than pays for itself. My truck is new (less than 2000 miles) and I could tell an immediate improvement in idle quality, starting, and power. Hard to know if I'm getting a mileage improvement since mine is in the early stages of breaking in. However, I'm sold on the product and it will go in my tank at every fill up.

I have owned 4 diesels, and always have used Diesel Kleen. I never had stuck injector or replaced an injector. I think it helps lube fuel pumps too.

Thanks guys for the info on D K I will for sure use it. Anyone had this bucking while backing or just lightly touching the throttle while manuevering around in the yard?
