PSA: That weird knock on a 6.7 Powerstroke might just be a $4 injector crush washer you missed.

Spent three full days chasing a phantom noise on a customer's truck, pulling the valve covers and checking the turbo twice, before I finally found a single, slightly out-of-place injector washer that took 20 minutes to swap once I saw it.

Oh man, "three full days" chasing that noise is the story of my life. I once spent a whole weekend convinced my own truck had a spun bearing, only to find a loose heat shield rattling on the exhaust. The simplest fix always seems to hide after you've already done the hardest work.

Always check the cheap, easy stuff first, even when you're sure it's something major.
