Knock, knock,who's there?
This may be just another dumb question but it's driving me nuts. I have this noise coming from my '97 PSD (84K) engine that is hard to describe. If it was a gasser I would describe it as a lifter or tappit noise.
It does it "Lightly" at idle and as I accelerate it gets louder. I can then back off of the throttle and almost delete it, more fuel louder it gets.
I can't honestly tell if it has just recently arrived or if it's always been there. It might even be a noise that diesels make, I don't recall it being there when I bought the truck 6 mos. ago.
If I could get rid of this "Ticking" (another description) it would be a very quiet engine. The engine runs great, never stumbles, misses or stops the SOB just keeps this damn loud ticking as it it was a Timex.
Any ideas from the pro section?

I just read the "Cackle" thread, could this be what I'm hearing? Also, I'm running the Super Chip in "Safe Tow" Mode and that thread stated that a chip could increase the cackle!?!?

No I'm not Joe. I don't know what it is. If it were the solnoids wouldn't the ticking be all over the place?

possibly just normal diesel engine noise... in my tony wildman chip on the "daily driver" setting it makes LOTS of engine noise i guess based on when the injectors fire and the pulse width... it's silent in the "tow" mode with just exhaust and turbo noise...
