powerstroke owner

Try running some Power Service injector cleaner thru it first before you spend a lot of money. Put about a gallon to a full tank and let it clean the injectors. Then run it till the tank is down to about 1/4. This should be enough time. Also drain fuel water seperator and change fuel filter. Its better to eliminate the minor causes before you start sticking a lot of money into it, andlet us know if the knock goes away. You can get power service at wal-mart for about 12 bucks.
