My trucks mods are as listed in my signature except i have removed my programmer due to the severly slipping clutch so now i am back to the factory gm tuning with my 40% over injectors and it has produced somewhat of a timing rattle i believe. I dont know if the rattle is normal in a zf6 equipped truck because unlike the allison i fall below the turbo nearly every shift because of no stall convertor like an auto has and i dont feel the need to dog on my truck all the time. My question is, is this rattle normal or is it in fact a timing rattle due to too much fuel too soon? If it is a timing rattle am i in danger of bending a rod with stock pw and maf tables? Either way i am getting efi live as soon as i can, but im just concerned if i am doing any damage to the motor. Any knowledge on this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Not lately, im going to this sunday. Does it sound like injector rattle, timing rattle, or possibly clutch/flywheel rattle to you? The clutch is definitely shot and i still have the factory dmf and the sound kinda sounds like its coming from the bell housing

hard to tell exactly its an unusual sound. get the injectors checked out and that will give us a better idea of where to look.
