    My 99 2.7L recently started making a clattering noise at higher rpms/speeds and usually when I am going up hill. Should I be worried? Any ideas on what I should look into?

    Thanks in advance for any pointers/advice.

    Maybe your skid plate is missing a bolt. That will make it clatter like hell!....

    My '99 2.7L had a bad chatter at certain RPMs, usually higher but sometimes at low idle. O2 sensors were rusted out and the cover was banging on the exhaust.
