Hello I'm new to the forum.
2018 bighorn with 72,000 km
A new sound has emerged from the engine bay, I brought it to a diesel mechanic and after a test drive assured me it's all normal diesel sounds. This is my first diesel, I bought it new and the sound just started about 2 weeks ago. I set up a camera in the engine bay to record the sound I'm talking about. I attached the YouTube link to the video below. It starts about 30 seconds in when I finally get moving. The sound only seems to appear under load. Am I just paranoid or does that sound off to you?

Thanks for any help, have a good day.

Update: just checked my oil filter, which was changed along with the oil 2500km ago and there are metal fragments in it.

That's not good. How much metal? Can you do a fresh oil change and put a screen/filter on the oil and see if/what you have in it?

Not sure how well you can see. But there is quite a bit of metal dust and shavings, bigger than I've ever seen when changing oil. There is a guy in my area that works on these trucks and he told me to stop driving it after sending him these pictures. He mentioned it could be the crankshaft/bearings. Coincidentally the last thing that was done to this truck was the recall related to the crankshaft sensor back in January.
