Used to drive a nearly new transit that pinked, didn't know diesels did.
If it's not pinking it sounds exactly the same with same circumstances causing it.

Pinking = Pre-Ignition = Detonation......fuel combusting before it's supposed under compression ( on the compression stroke ) and thus acting against the direction the piston is going briefly. Can be caused by loads of things
