Re: No PSD Excursion for Me
The cackle I'm referring to is a fairly loud knock that seems to come from one or two of the cylinders. It sounds similar to rod knock in a gasoline engine and can be heard quite clearly over the normal diesel noise. Imagine someone inside the engine block hitting the sides with a small hammer and you'll have a pretty good idea of what I'm trying to describe.
It would seem that not all PSD's exhibit the problem and some only do so under certain conditions and RPM ranges. The PSD Excursion I test drove sounded fine. Several new PSD pickups I've encountered did not.
My concern was that I'd be unlucky and wait several months for a $40K vehicle that would sound like it's falling apart as I drove it down the road. Even if Ford's claim that no damage is being done to PSD's that cackle, it's not something I'm willing to deal with.
