Next,. it is a common rail ISX. The fuel pump needs all of its guts replaced every 400k miles, so if has not been done.. then it is past over-due for it!. That fuel pump is a ticking time-bomb waiting to destroy that whole engine in a hurry when it fails without any warning. That is the next place to start.

Also, has anyone bothered to do a proper injector leak test on it?... and what was the leak rate?. For all anyone knows, you could have a leaky injector and its causing the 'ticking'.

And is the engine de-mandated (deleted).. and if so, who did the programming?.

Thanks for the reply and yes it was the first and last time ever I’ll use Lucas. Also no the motor is not delete and have no DEF system issues.
