is there any smoke coming from the exhaust? White is steam, Blue is Oil, Black is fuel

but its as loud as a rod smacking the bottom of the piston?
You could try getting about 3 cans of Diesel Purge and running that through.It doesn't go in the tank, you have to make up a little rig and it goes straight into the pump and the return line goes back to your rig so you are burning near straight cleaner, but that stuff does wonders. if it doesn't take care of the problem, it's time for new injectors
A slobbering injector on a diesel will make a sound just like a rod about to come out the side of the block on a gas burner. It'll scare the heck out of you the first time you run into it.

I feel its an injector too. How old are the injectors in the motor... If they are painted grey they are the original ones... Replace them with a BB code set but... Read who to not buy from in the Hall of Shame in the above articles. We have some members that sell these and at a very good price. You probably are running the G codes... They were designed for the turbo motors but... They actually are an emmissions injector... I ran several sets of them and they are terrible. I run the BB code injectors from typ4 here... I love them.... Lots of power and fuel economy...

White is steam? Is this bad?
not necessarily.
white smoke from a diesel is unburnt fuel. take a whiff of that stuff and it will put you on your knees and bring tears to your eyes.

Does it sound like this (around 0:25)?? This is what my Rollback is doing now. I have a set of typ4's matched BB's one the way, hopefully it will fix the issue.

Proper diesel exhaust does smell great. However, the raw stuff that Towcat is mentioning, really is wicked. Get yourself in a confined space with that kind of exhaust, and your eyes will be killing.
