2008 6.7 Cummins Engine Knock

2007 knocking sound

i have the same problem brought it to the dealer check the injector everything is fine did u find the problem hope they dont rack me a bill at the dealer its been there for four days. n just got a pdf delete pipe n smarty programmer didnt even have the chance to install it

I know the 6.4 "knock" is normal.. per TSB that ford put out saying it was normal engine clatter since the newer diesels are quiet you can hear the motor clatter more.. BS!!!!!!

its from over fueling during re gen mode.... plain and simple diesel fuel weaps past the rings gets into the oil and dilutes it.

fords knock... chevys knock.......

I know this is a FORD.. but same concept... actually the fords sound worse when they do it .. it sounds like piston wrist pin slap.... And the 6.7 p-strokes do it also. and ford said the same thing DONT FIX IT nothing is wrong.. MY ASS.!!

6.4L DIESEL ENGINE TICKING / TAPPING NOISE
Publication Date: September 9, 2008
FORD:
2008 F-Super Duty
ISSUE:
Some 2008 F-Super Duty 250-550 vehicles equipped with a 6.4L diesel engines may exhibit a random engine ticking / tapping noise that is most noticeable when engine coolant temperature is 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) or higher and from base idle to approximately 1500 RPM. Some customers may complain that this noise becomes more evident after 3000-5000 miles have accumulated on the vehicle or after an engine oil change.
ACTION:
Follow the Service Information.
SERVICE INFORMATION
The ticking / tapping noise is most noticeable at the rear of the driver's side front wheel well. 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel engines exhibit this normal audible condition (some engines will exhibit greater audible noise due to engine build variations). 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel engines are manufactured to tight tolerances in order to meet strict durability and reliability standards.
This noise is caused by the relationship between engine block, crankshaft journals, bearing inserts and oil viscosity / film. This relationship allows a pulsation that resonates through the cylinder block and is heard as a metallic ticking noise. This condition is present on all diesel engines.
Technological improvements and overall noise reduction in today's diesel engines make this issue seem new when in fact it was masked by other noises on previous engines. Other engine manufacturers report similar conditions in their diesel engines. Vehicle testing and engine tear down analysis have confirmed this condition will not effect reliability or long term durability of this engine.
Dealers should not attempt to perform vehicle to vehicle noise comparisons. This may lead to incorrect conclusions and ineffective repairs.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS FOR THIS NORMAL NOISE CONDITION. REPLACING THE ENGINE OR INTERNAL COMPONENTS WILL NOT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE TICKING / TAPPING NOISE. PLEASE PROVIDE THIS BULLETIN TO CUSTOMERS THAT INQUIRE ABOUT THIS CONDITION.

if it was a valve out of adjustment or not opening it would be either miss firing ( looked smooth in the video) or you would have popping out of the intake or exhaust.
