Well I'm confused......
But if you do the in-tank & pre pump mods you will remove the air from the stock fuel system and quiet down the cackle quite a bit. Also, biodiesel users tend to have a quieter idle.....

I'm a really big fan of doing this to quiet the truck down.
I would recommend that you pull the valve covers and retorqe the rocker arm pedastals and fuel injector hold down bolts.
I went through mine as a matter of routine and was surprised to see nearly half of them were not tight on an engine that only had 75,000 miles on it.
Rocker pedastal bolts are 20 ft lb
injector retainer bolts are 120 inch lb.
After doing that you will be surprised at how much tighter the engine sounds.
Mine lost a lot of general rattling sounds while underway on the freeway.
