    Hey guys.


    Wanted some insight on a issue I think I’m having might all just be in my head

    I have a 2023 389 with a x15 cm2450. I recently had the dpf “fall off” and noticed the engine it self got a bit chattier at idle. Truck runs great and don’t notice anything wrong with it at all. Got the stock turbo with only other modifications done is the egr plugged off. Best way I can describe it is sounds like when you cold start a diesel engine but all the time. Obviously not as dramatic as that but you guys get the idea. To put it in more simpler terms it sounds more mechanical than it used too and is noticeably louder. Is that Common with these motors being that there is less restriction in the exhaust and less load on the motor etc? I know the timing change is what makes them sound a little diffrent but what exactly are symptoms of bad timing or in this case a bad file?

    Literally no issues, no oil consumption, no smoking no power loss everything seems to be under control
    Thanks for any info
