I'm new to the forum but have used for reference a lot. There's a bunch of good people with good info on here so thanks. Which is why I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction
So a rundown of my issue and engine history.
I've got a 93 f250 that was a factory idit that blew. I swapped in a 92 7.3 idi n/a engine. It's been running great. I've been driving it 40+ miles a day for the last 8 months. Has a couple leaks that I've fixed. It's had a slight tick that I wasn't really sure if it was "diesel knock" or an actual problem. Fast forward to this weekend.....
I replaced the glow plugs. They all came out easy and intact. They didn't look too bad. No mushrooming burns etc. I put the new ones in and it fired right up. Sounded fine. Shut it off and let set the weekend. Fired it up Sunday evening and sounded great until I went past 1000-1100 rpm. It sounds like a bad rod knock but that doesn't make sense.
Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
