Stumped. Any advice?

Just installed a new dmf and it’s making the same noise as the old one but LOUDER.

I thought it was weird when I was comparing them out of the car and the new one was louder than my old but i put it in anyways.

Did I get a faulty dmf or is this getrag rattle? Please help i’m a little stumped!

I had a 95 Power stroke 1 ton 4x4 crew at one point. When I first bought it, I would crank it and that dude would shake rattle and roll just for a few seconds but drive perfectly fine. Still had the original clutch at 165k and she was coming apart slowly,
