I think the auroras have a twin set up for the P/S. If he goes twins, he'll have to stud the heads! The do make injectors for them as well. As far as the rattle, have him try some fuel additive or a quart of 2-stroke oil (TCW-3) in the fuel and see if that helps. This new ULSD were running lacks the sulfur that helps to lube everything.

well we got it the starter fixed, turns out the flywheel was loose and messed it up, but as far as the upgrades goes the ones for the powerstrokes are really expensive compared to the cummins , so they will have to wait.

sorry for the long time post but with two jobs and school i dont have much time
