Hey guys, I recently bought this 1983 6.9 IDI and I've been noticing some annoying ticking that I can hear in the cab. The truck is 2wd with an ATS 085 and T19 with a Gear Vendor. The noise has not gotten better or worse in the few weeks I've been working on it. I ran some seafoam through the oil and changed it but it didn't seem to improve anything. I've owned two other IDI trucks before (a 1990 7.3 and a 1984 6.9) and neither of these trucks made these noises, however I think my friends old 84 had the same-ish noises (but I'm not totally sure). The truck has other weird issues to fix such as some terrible transmission noise but this ticking is the most concerning issue at the moment. It's also my daily driver for the time being (my 6 leaker is torn apart) so I can't really dig into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Was just wondering if anyone has experienced the same noise.
Kind of difficult to make out in the videos but in person it's very noticeable.
