    Help Needed Engine knocking, Maybe Injectors?

    i am guessing this is a newer truck with electric fuel pump check fuel pressure sounds like filter is running out of fuel possible pump or tank sock are bad you could also pump cover on filter to see if houseing has sufficient fuel

    EGT and Oil temps

    dieseltech1 ok dave if you want to locate it in the up tube your still only looking at one bank what if an injector fails on the other side and starts to over fuel the turbo does not absorb that much heat to cause an issue and if it did then then aftermarket companys would install dual pyros...

    EGT and Oil temps

    why would you mount a pyrosensor so it only monitors a couple of cylinders they are made to monitor the whole exhaust system temps so you have an idea what the engine is doing as far as exhaust temps all heavy duty pyros are mounted within 6 inches of the turbo outlet and the eot will run about...
