Yes, it's the one injection event that they are playing that sounds twice as loud as the other 7.

Kinda like a metal tap at regular intervals? Stands out in tone. The "nocackle" wav file sounds more like my truck. hmmmm..interesting.

Ok I got a question. What cause the cackle, and what do you do to fix it.


Thanks
Rich

That's it. Mine was doing it until I did the air bleed. Now it never does it.

Amazing, the "no cackle" file sounds smooth. Mine is random, sometimes its there, sometimes no. Kwik, so the quick-connect mod and tank mod weren't enough to get rid of it?

Looking back, it still did it at random occations even after I did all the work. But it's been a very gradual tapering off over the last few months.
I also ran a 55 gallon barrel of Bio-diesel through the system last fillup, that may be a contributor.
I can still hear it for the first minute of operation in the morning. After that, nothing.

I think I'll do the quick-connect mod first and see how it goes. The "air bleed off" mod seems a little over my head. And the fuel regulator system prices on the internet are a bit too pricey for me.

The fix for it is to install a LL injector in #8 cylinder. LL stands for long lead, it causes a change in the timing characteristics for that cylinder only. #8 cylinder is the only cylinder that would have this injector installed in it.

I disagree. I know that's Ford's official stance, but I just don't like the thought of engineering in an unbalanced fuel delivery to try and offset a poor design.
International never has trouble with thier T444E's, and they also saw fit to install an accumulator on the back of the left head.
I wonder why?
