Hey Mad Dog 79,

Sounds like you have an engine timing issue.

The timing belt may have slipped a tooth or 2.

Best get the cover removed and check the timing marks line-up as they should for it to run smooth again.

The marble sound is a diesel engine "rattle" associated with incorrect Injector Pump timing.

Was the truck running fine, then it changed all of a sudden, or has it been like this since it was obtained?
