Sounds pretty normal on the video. Can you pick up your concerned knocking sound on the video? Sometimes video audio recordings dont always represent what you hear in real life. Is you exhaust color normal once warmed up? Is there a color to your exhaust (ie: white)?

I have about 6000 miles behind 2 different deuces in tha last 2 years and other than the turbo noise and the driving style your trip sounded just like one of mine.

One deuce is bone stock and one has upped fuel.

This video sounds just like the truck. Exhaust is good just a little smoke when pulling hard. and a little Blue Grey smoke when cold at start up. Running close to 100% wmo.

Sounds like mine cold, it seems like everything rattles on mine cold!

That was after running about 100 miles.

This next one sounds like mine too.

I was around this one most of a day and it had a pretty noticeable knock, not after thoroughly warmed up though. I am with everybody else, if your oil pressure is good and it gets quieter while driving, just enjoy it!

mine are all different

My deuce and the M45 fire truck run like the truck pulling the truck in video. no knocks no rattles. smooth powerfull great. My reo (5 ton) has a noise not a rattle..a heavy clonk more like! and the wrecker is the same!..6 years on both start run and pull fine. I thought it was (is) a "5 ton" characteristic....I will record the and post over the weekend.. ((I just remembered my M54 which I sold last year was the same..and still going strong))...and that truck pulled my deuce hundreds of miles over the years..just a thought..and Iv'e allways sort a wished they did not make that sound!

I thought i would give an update.

Drove the truck to Washington for the rally. About 450 miles total driving.

All the strange intermittent knocks are gone.

Also going up I had a mix of WMO that had a lot of gear oil in it. Man the truck loves that gear oil. Pyro temps were down and the power was up. After running that tank out I refiled with a mix cut with gas and a lot of atf fluid. Power was down and pyro temps were up.
