[QUOTE="Jason, post: 118000, member: 430"] I haven't really drove it much, moved it in and out of the driveway at most. I was thinking if the hpop was bleeding off pressure and then starting with no/low oil psi it could knock...I let it run for about 20 min yesterday to charge my batteries, from listening to my stereo, and cranking on it without running it. Didn't think to check on the noise...I'll check on it tomorrow once I get this new tensioner installed. I'm wondering if lack of oil could be the culprit or if the injector itself could be making the noise. I was planning on single shots, and a 38r here in the next couple of weeks (need to order), didn't know if it'd be safe to drive the truck to my shop or if I should tow it. I have no codes being thrown, it is noticeably weaker than before, and I have a good amount of oil on top of the motor, I believe to be coming from my hpop, or my pedestal, or a combination of the both. Were talking about a 270k mile motor, and I am wanting to fix it and keep it mild, to get me another 3-4 years of service towing my stuff around. On high idle it's not as noticeable (motor itself is too noisy), my truck has always sounded like a caterpillar, definitely louder than other 7.3 trucks I've heard, and has always Dan excellent til the past 5k or so I have noticed a big loss in power, and fuel mileage. Drivers side is a lot of injector noise, and typical diesel sounds, passenger side is shoot of injector noise and diesel sounds with a tinny knock sound that's very steady... [/QUOTE]
