If only I could have ordered: My 2000 Ford F250 4x4 Lariat with: 5.9 Cummins 24V Allison 6 speed Auto Dana 70 front Dana 80 rear But in reality, I have 151k on my slightly modded Powerstroke(340hp/750tq at the rear tires) and still running the stock tranny. It has been reliable as heck and...

The "pinging" is under load. Fairly quiet when running/revving in the driveway. A stethoscope makes it sound like a cross between a blender and marbles bouncing around in a tin can. Hard to tell whats what. Its getting parked for a bit until I can get to it.

Here is some picks and a writeup on another site:http://nwforddiesel.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198594075/0

No, it was the new one. And the new new Coolant Temp Sensor didn't make a difference. The old new one has a bad wire connection at the connector. Any time I wiggled it with the ohmmeter on, it would show it. So I fixed the connection and will keep it as a spare. Anyway, since nothing yet has...

Okay, I decided to test all the sensors just to be sure and I think I may have found the problem. My coolant temp sensor has infinite resistance. Now to find the receipt and get a new one. I already replaced it once, apparently with a defective one. The FSM say the coolant sensor can effect...

I have no idea on the units either, but according to my scanner, I usually only see 1 or 2 on it revving the engine, and zero at idle. I will have to try it at 2500 rpm now. Maybe I overtorqued the sensor putting it on?

Injectors plugged into the jeep harness and the same with the knock sensor. Tapping the block with a hammer did make the knock sensor jump to 6 as read by my MT2500, but no noticeable change in timing. Maybe I was not quick enough to catch it.

You are right, I am not so sure it is pinging, as it could just be noisy injectors, even though they are new Ford Orange tops. The knock sensor I broke had the electrical connection at the end, and the new one is a side connection, stud screwed into block and nut holds the sensor on. Could the...

Considering the noise happens mostly while I am driving.... I had thought about having the wife drive while I was under the hood listening but.... The noise is from the injectors, or the valves/rockers/etc. as it is right at the top of the motor, drivers side. The MT2500 would not be cheap...

I think the head was off at least once before I bought the jeep, but I have not had it off. No idea on if it had been milled. Exhaust is all new from header, to high flow cat, to Magnaflow cat-back and out. Distributor was much cleaner than the rest of the motor when I first saw it, but it...

I don't have a DRB II, but I do have a Snap-On MT2500 that reads the computer. All the sensors show correct inputs to the computer. The knock sensor does show input, usually a 1 or 2. I am thinking it is not pinging, but injector noise. Or something else entirely.

I don't have a vid camera, or even a tape recorder that works. I am still in the 8-track days and a cheap bastard. Just imagine constant pinging under load, and all the time over 2500 rpm. At cruise below 2500 rpm, it is nice and quiet. Light throttle and she is quiet. Reving it in the...

Well, I tried misting with water. A whole quart of water misted into the throttle body with the engine at 2000 rpm. Barely got anything out of the exhaust. No change in the pinging. Screw it. I am just going to drive it as is and turn up the stereo.

X2 Felpro.

I have already tried Seafoaming it twice without luck. Looking into the cylinders with a bore scope, it has some carbon buildup, but not enough, IMO, to be an issue. Still going to mist it and see what happens. I am still curious on the injectors. I know the orange top Ford injectors fit...
