My truck has developed a rattle/knocking sound recently and it is strange. I only hear it when I'm accelerating off from a stop and it goes away when I pass 15mph. It doesn't matter if I accelerate hard or gently, the rattle is there until I pass 15mph.
I don't think the engine is rattling because there is no rattling when I'm reving it in park. I even loaded up the engine by putting it in drive, holding the brakes, and gently reving it up to 1500rpms or when the tires are about spin.(power braking
)
I don't want to take it to the dealer because I would have to put my stock suspension back on, otherwise they might say the rattle is caused by my lift which it doesn't seem like.
I did a search and found some people had the intake rattle which is happening in the same area as my rattle. However, the TSB says the rattling happens in reverse but mine is not doing it in reverse. So I am sort of at a lost here. Any ideas?
