Do you have a rail pressure gauge? You could be getting some injector knock from to high of pressure. Not sure if thats the problem that your describing. Also maybe check the torque on the connector tube. I had a funny sound and some white smoke when i had a loose tube.

i haven't by passed the tst yet. my tubes and connectors are tight. no leaks
i do have a rail gauge, it used to sit around 26,000psi or a little more, but now it reads around 12-15,000psi when wot.looks like these injectors are very demanding now, more then my stage 3 can give it. so i am going to a dyno day tomorrow and will be playing with some setting to see if i can find a happy medium, or i will be going back to stock tips.i am not ready to do dual CP3's, and i really don't want that much HP.i want the truck to work good, but not willing to go that far.

Either the connector tubes didnt seat well or the injectors are leaking by. A stage 3 pump should have no problem keeping up. My stock pump can keep up with my 1.8s and all the electronics i can throw at it. 26k with x2 pressure

I have taken my TST completly off the truck trying to get this to stop.
I'm still going with the cross over tubes. They are supposed to be "crush to fit", whitch to some people means 1 time use only.
Next step will be sending the injectors off to be checked for balance by Don.
And I have heard that just installing tips on the CR injectors can throw off the balance as well.

i am willing to bet that the tips i installed are not balanced.
are you talking about the feed tubes? i still don't know what you mean by cross over tubes.
oldsmokey, do you have a pressure box, and if so, what is it set at?
maybe i need to up the edge box, from 1 to maybe 2, to get a little more pressure?

so i found a problem today on the dyno, it ran out of fuel mid pull, 2 times, so i called it quits. i guess the lift pump is getting tired, or i need to step it up. rail seems good,until it ran down to 0psi on the low pressure pump.
talk to a guy there today, had same set up as me, same year truck, last year and he said the noise mine makes is normal. i was a relief but i hate this noise.
anyway, not too good on the numbers, 475/908 was my best, running out of fuel, no meth.

Had my injectors balanced tested today. I have a bad #3 injector so I hope that is what is causing the majority of my rattle. Im gonna order another 120 from Industrial and hopefully it will cure my fuel system ills.

I just installed my Edge jammers and i have a bit more rattle but i barley notice it. Im no expert but mine was really noisey at the begining and now that i have driven a bit they are alot quieter. Maybe you have a unbalanced injector or something like that.
