Peterbilt did the work, replaced the pump with a new pump. Changed fuel lines. I had the old style pump and they had to upgrade to the new pump style which required changing the fuel lines. It vibrates hard at idle almost feels like it’s doing a regen but it’s not. Engine has tapping noise at low idle and follows the engine into rev up until over 15. Is is your truck stock with mandate intact, or are you running a tune with to much timing or perhaps other bad practices, just asking 

Truck is stock with mandate intact.
