    Good power. Better MPG. Anything was an improvement over what I had.

    Who and how things are replaced matters. It’s more than bolts and nuts. It could be something simple like a loose nut on injector solenoid or overhead out, to a major uh oh. Also more compression makes more boom=more noise. For lack of a simpler explanation I agree nothing worse than creating an issue when trying your best to avoid a future one.


    Simple first thoughts are check bolts in front balancer, pressure plate, bell housing etc. did they put the washers between the engine pads and top of motor mount? Look for anything laying or touching frame or cab that shouldn’t.

    I took a video of it running and revving to 2000 RPM. Can’t see or hear anything. I should have took a half full bottle of water and put it in different areas of truck and maybe that would have shown something. Will try that tomorrow

    Going to look really good tomorrow and take lots of pics. I greased truck on Sunday but was so stinking hot just wanted to get it over with. Could’ve been something dead set in my face.

    Been there too for sure. It’s time consuming but put a wrench on all of it you can get too

    I have no issue with time if it’s something forgotten. Its just with my luck it will be internal. My black cloud never leaves.

    Could be way worse, my friend. At least it's running good and generating revenue.
