u could remove one valve cover at a time,then start the truck and remove the electrical connection one at a time at each injector,and if the one you removed made the truck quite.then u may have found the problem! Its not a bad idea thats how i found what injector was bad on my truck!

IS it knocking more on the drivers side or the passengers side. It could be #8 injector not getting enough fuel. The sound would go away when you have the tuner because your putting more fuel in. I would try the CPS. Have you noticed the engine running differently or is just a sound change?

Any chance of this being related to winter blend fuel?
My truck is night and day when they switch.
Summer time=purrs like a kitten

Have you tried adding a little oil to the fuel, maybe some trans fluid?

When you had the predator in, did you run the crap out of the truck? I'm wondering if maybe you need to re-torque the injectors? Start small man, these trucks are tough. Dont go any furthur that necessary.

By any chance, did you get a gray CPS? There are known problems with it and the mother ship is "looking into it".

im gonna do a black cps and new fuel filter today... I didn't run the crap out of the truck with the diablo. this noise started before winter fuel got here. it used to really knock and i changed the oil and it stopped. i also added the hpx and it helped a little. its still sounding like a constant clattering it wont do it in park while your revving its only moving down the road and responds as i push the go pedal so im just gonna keep checkin things off i guess

How about a good treatment of Diesel Kleen, mine was chattering and knocking pretty good, dumped some DK in, runs smooth with 5% bio blend.

What about a cracked flexplate? I'm not sure if this is a problem in the Ford's or not, but the Dodge Cummins are notorious for cracked flexplates that makes it sound like the engine is coming apart. Just a thought????
