I havent ajusted the valves yet was going to tackle that very soon though thanks for the oil input will be swapping that this week I think I have the 22r engine as well
I would suggest doing the valve adjustment as suggested and see what happens. Since you are in a rather cold area 10/30 is likely the recommended weight.
How many miles on your engine and have you done a compression check to see what condition the engine is generally in?
So your truck is a 22REC but the ECU is a 22R. I don't know if changing out the ECU is required when going from the injected engine to carbed.
Someone here should know and/or you may want to do some searching here.
So What are the valve specs since the hood is different than the motor that is in the truck so I know that the engine was rebuilt before being ran on propane I have pictures the body say 148 thousand but different motor different miles so should I stay with the 10 30 oil or go 10 40 also I tried to run it on 2 psi lost a bit of power so dialed it back to 1.5 unless I should mess with timing more but its driving fine I'm doing a plug swap and oil change this week h

It doesn't need the ECU now that it's a carb. The ECU although stamped 22R is for the EFI 22RE.
That Engine Control Unit should not be doing anything now that this engine has a carburetor but it gives us a window into this truck's history.
As far as the engine being loud, I would check the valve adjustment and adjust as necessary.
If you live in an area where it stays cold most of the year, I would tend to stay away from "thick" oils as it takes longer for "thick" oil to circulate in a stone-cold engine in the morning, which could cause more wear on your engine at startup than necessary.
I have had good luck with setting the valves at .007 intake and .011 exhaust with the engine dead cold. At .008 and .12 my engines seem to have a lot of noise. Sounds like a well oiled sewing machine with the tighter specs. You need a gauge on the out going side of the pressure regulator to verify fuel pressure. I would all so find top dead center using a tool in the cylinder. The crank pulleys can “walk” leading to the tdc mark being off some.
