My truck has had this since I got it but it just keeps getting louder. When I drive my truck there is a loud metallic rattle coming from underneath the truck, it starts at about 2,000 rpm then goes away and comes back with higher rpms. It doesn't affect the driveability any it's just really annoying. Anyone else have this problem? Also, some days it doesn't happen at all, really strange...

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler One thing to try is a rubber mallet to tap on things underneath the truck to see if you can duplicate the noise. Might be something loose in the exhaust, for example. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Metallic Rattling sound [Re: 4Crawler] #824975 07/15/07 04:41 AM Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 7 T Trekker81 Need a Spot theres a bracket on my truck that was making a rattling noise it was a clamp that bolts on to the transmission might wana check in that area Re: Metallic Rattling sound [Re: thxgoon] #824976 07/15/07 05:30 AM Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 3 Northglenn, CO lockedstock84 Need a Spot look at heat shields, or any other thin metal Have locker, will travel!

If you're running the 22RE with power steering I'll be willing to bet it's the idler pulley. The little bastard HOWLED at about that RPM and sounded like a squealing belt, then rattled and got that metallic sound. I at first thought I spun a cam bearing LOL! Pull that guy off and check the bearing for play.

I will check some of that out this weekend. It sounds like it's coming from the transmission area so I will definitely look for that clamp. But alas... today my clutch sprung a leak and it's dripping all over my foot.

Turned out to be a bad catalytic converter. I guess the stuff inside had broken loose and was rattled around by the exhaust gases.
