You can try cracking the injector lines one at a time.. This should help you isolate which injector/cylinder has a knock.

My engine started knocking real bad a few months back. If I cracked the #1 injector line at the head the knock qould go away 100%. I had that injector tested and it failed. I replaced the injector and all is well now.... How many miles on the truck???
