When the governer kicks in?

[Archive]

Does anything rattle when the governer kicks in and controls RPM's? I still hear a rattle when loaded with a trailer or wood and step on the fuel feed petal. It usually happens at about 2600 RPM's and I'm climbing a steep grade. I let off and slow up to stop the noise. I have only 50k miles on my fully stock '96,AT truck. I can't duplicate the noise any other time. It sounds like my fuel pump or injection pump area.

Herg,
Thought I read in other thread that this is caused by clogged injectors?
Is the rattling similar to ping on gas engine?
At 2600 rpm the govenor usually starts to decrease fuel. The Max rpm should still get close to 3000, but not up hill with load or pulling trailer.
What gear are you in doing the steep grades?

Mine had a rattle just before the lift pump started to puke fuel out all over the bottom of my truck and the five trucks behind me all shined up..... on the way to a Diesel drag racing event. Gone ever since the repair.
