Guys, I noticed a few days ago the work 450 sounding pretty rough when our drillers were letting it warm up (it has a Mobile B30 Drill Rig attached to the chassis, around 12-14k total vehicle weight). Today Kieth, our driller, asked me to come listen and it sounded really rough. He indicated it didn't always sound like that warming up when cold. It sounds almost as if there is an injector issue or something i.e. missing, shaking, and a little more rattle than a 6.0 usually has. Exhaust didn't have any out of the ordinary smell to it. Truck has around 30k on the clock and is an 07 (possibly an 06). Anything to look for specifically? I suggested they change the fuel filter which has not yet been changed according to Keith.
p.s. Keith is fairly hard on it in the sense of I hear them leave our office all the time going right to max throttle. I tell them not to do this all the time but they don't listen. He says it is not using any coolant and has pleanty of oil.
