Red devils dude, The sound is not always there. It is definately a deeper sound that I could compare to a V-8 knock. It seems to be present under load and seems to quiet down as I let off the go pedal. The noise does not overpower the great sound of the diesel but is faint enough to make you wonder. I guess being my first diesel I am learning. Please excuse my newbieness. I'll just let it ride for now. If something changes I'll be sure to address it.

Ken, I live in a small town outside of Portland Oregon. So it's about 15 to 20 miles to anything significant. So I am seeing a bit of freeway time. I always watch my speed and try never to exceed 52 MPH. I think that is very close to 2200 RPM. Maybe I should slow down a bit more. Its getting messy under my hood. A couple military guys at the last parade were disgusted why I was leaking so much.


Thanks DR and guys for responding. I'll study the manuals and try to use the search function, but I appreciate the response.
