    Air Leak Noise?

    Oh OK thanks, just wondering if you had some super secret prototype unit. That valve is the fuel filter sump drain and that sound is the "Cadillac" valve that controls the fan clutch.

    2003 M1123 6.5L injection pump issues HELP!

    Well it can be assumed that if you are getting plenty of pressure to the injection pump, getting voltage to the solenoid and it is moving inside, your injection pump needs to go out for rebuild.
