OK, I just picked up a Deuce (actually bought it from a guy here) and it seems to have picked up a slight knock. Or so I think. I could be insane but it seemed to get worse after an 1,100-mile road trip at 55-57 most of the way. I expect a lot of noise so I'm not just being a sissy about it. It just sounds different now. I searched around on here and found several other knocking complaints so it seems common but is it a problem?Anyway, I got 30 psi of oil when warm and typically 60-80 when driving down the road. This has not changed as the knock became more prominant. It is not the air pump. If I heard the truck for the first time and it sounded this way I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like a clackity industrial diesel. So my question is should I? Could the noise be from the valvetrain? Do the valves on these engines need constant adjusting due to solid lifters? Do they even have solid lifters? Any input would be great. Thanks!
