I am still most pleased with my SD with the new [rebuilt] injection pump. The shifting is way better and the smoking has stopped and the things starts most easily. One oddity I have noticed is that at normal in town highway speeds [ mid 40's] I can here a faint ticking from somewhere under the hood. It does not seem to be there at idle, and not being able to run beside the car to check I thought I might ask the experts. My first guess would have to be something in the injection pump as nothing else on the car has been changed. Any thoughts? Other than that faint tick, I have heard the rattle of an injection pump with what I think is a messed up vacuum connection once or twice, and for some reason it started to idle at about 7500 RPM rather than its usual 6500. That only went on for a short time, but it was noticeable. Turning off the AC had no effect.
Thanks for all who help us non-mechanical types.
