Mild Clatter Under Acceleration

[natedawg]

MOTOR idle's quite and very smooth no smoke but has a louder than average clatter under accel...kinda sounds like injector clatter any ideas or suggestions

runs like a champ no smoke all the way to red line just the clatter under load or cruise above 2300 rpm

Mine is the same way. Its the Injector pump talking to you.

How many miles are on you truck?

I agree with deeretracks. Buy a couple bottles of injector cleaner and run it in every other tank fillup a few times. That should help the noise and lube up everything.

Same here. I think it is just enough noise to remind you that you are driving a diesel.

Pilot injection........Its when the injectors fire a small amount of fuel into the cylinder as the piston is compressing. This way, when the main injection pulse kicks in its shooting the fuel into a flame. It gets a more effecient burn this way.
