But thanks for the direction I'll check into it.

In addition my occasional purge valve ticking I too have the constant “diesel rattle” sound on both sides of the engine. I’m not sure if it’s internal or maybe the fuel metering system. The truck is due back shortly for its first oil change and at that time I’ll mention the rattle noise to the service tech. Say tuned.
At any rate, the engine is smooth as silk and has about as much take off and pulling power as a Boeing 737.
