Ive looked at the harmonic balancer last summer and also again a few weeks ago when I put on the HO waterpump. Unless Im looking at it wrong the balencer looks good to me.
When I run around on the backroads here I do 55 ish with the torque converter locked and I bet I get around 22 or a little better. When I pulled the tactor up from laporte IN I did the same pulling the tractor and probably got close to the same MPG.
I can hear the lift pump running, it was pumping fuel fine last summer.
The glow plugs run for about 30-40 seconds.
Its supposed to be nice out today so Ill try and find some time to play with it.
I seen the leak when I had the camera out, thats why I looked at it with the camera. I just put a HO water pump in.
Id say its more like over night when it will do it again. I think after almost all day it will knock but not as bad.
If its a injector would cracking a line loose stop the knock if I had the kncoking cylinder?
I want to put insurance back on it soon and drive the beast.
This truck never did this before, it started it last year some time and slowly got worse. My other 6.5 doesnt knock. Normaly the knock is worse then it is in the video.
Heres a video of the engine knock, you can only hear it for about the first 30 seconds. At about 12 seconds you can hear it the best. Seems to only be there at idle.
Anyone have any idea what is causing it?

Ive been planning one only problm is my camera doesnt have clear sound on the video. My moms camera is perfect but it quit working. If I can find the charger I have another camera that takes realy good video on a mini dvd.
I wouldnt think it would be a wore rob bearing because it came on to quick. Also it doesnt seem to be running on all 8 when you first fire it up in the cold. It used to fire right up and run smooth no matter the temperature. The colder it is the worse the knock.
Thats what I was thinking, is that common on a 6.5L I dont drive it in the winter but I just put a water pump on it. I noticed it back in the summer but it was hardly noticable and slowly got worse. Before I put it on the road Ill pull the pan off and check it out.
When I fire up my truck after about 5 seconds it slowly starts to knock and after about one min it goes away. It starts good and runs fine. Seems to be worse when its cold out. Any idea?
