Engine Tap After First Tow

Just purchase a 2007 2500 5.9 48re. After towing the first time at about
1000 miles I have noticed the engine tapping. The engine started as a wa wa wa wa wa now its a tap tap tap. I don't remember my 2005 5.9 making this sound? Any ideas or maybe its normal?

My guess is a bad injector, I've pulled very heavy since the truck had 220 miles on it and I had no noises. I've got 19k on it now and still nothing, looks like we have the same truck.
