ever since i bought the trucks its knocked going on 5k+ miles yea i know stupid me
I'm about to buy injectors because I'm lead to believe its injector knock because when i crack injector lines i cannot really tell maybe i have multiple bad injectors?
and if it was rod or lifter knock she would've blowed up by now right? also oil pressure gauge reads middle at idle and "al" at 75 mph yea that gauge is inaccurate but its a bullnose so it means just a little more than a brick or aero nose
and to add a cherry on top the injector washers failed
so can anybody tell anything by the video?

I thought I might have injection knock so I bit the bullet and bought properly rebuilt injectors from one of the good guys. Knock is gone.
My knock was not very noticeable at idle. But when I started to drive it was. When I was driving and let off, it "went away". As soon as I got back on the pedal it was audible.
Hope this helps some.

I know he's been very busy. Plus the whole "supply chain" thing.
Hopefully you can get some in a reasonable time frame.

And to put a cherry on top I stripped the hard line threads on the injector so I had to out a really old injector in so I’m running on 7 now so I have sadly resorted to driving the big block and strait six just isn’t the same as the ole idi order late 4 days ago so hopefully I can get them in a couple days going though idi withdrawals

I know the feeling. I've got a great looking IMO built 460 gasser in a 68 F250 one ton 4x4 that I love to drive but GOT DAM at 4-5 mpg around tow it's terrible on fuel. She's got a drinking problem and she has to have the good stuff (91). Plus it doesn't have AC and it's 110 here in AZ. The idi has good AC and get's easily twice the mileage if not more around town. Plus the good ol rattle just makes me excited to go get stuff done.
