No not exactly like that, I have a grating noise on reving (like the noirmal diesel rattle but louder) and if you look at this vid, the engine is vibrating, I dont know what it is, it was a sudden change If you look carefully you can see some vibration although I appreciate it looks pretty good on this vid.....but it aint :-(

Sound turboish?

A bad injector can cause loud knocking.

I would tend to agree with Rick to be honest Vaughn, it sounds as if it is running on three cylinders..........the plenum is dry??

I'll go for the dead injector theory too.--

If the injectors check out then have a look at the EGR valve - unplug it and make sure it is shut and see if the engine runs OK.
