You have crack the body on an injector. Time to send them off or replace. I doubt you will see any visible evidence. The Edge Ez is terrible on injectors if your are not careful and have a rail pressure gauge to guide you, especially on the 04.5 and up trucks. You can run the truck with the valve cover off and see which one is spraying everywhere. Just be out of the way cause that high pressure fuel will hurt you.

From what I have heard on here, yes it can make a loud knock. If you have filled the crankcase with diesel, then you have one that is cracked. You don't have to buy 6 new injectors, just send them to F1 and have them rebuild yours and install Flux 1 tips. Yes, they are expensive.
