    09 V6 DCSB 6 speed with ~90K miles. Truck recently started making a really nice noise when i accelerate hard. I would describe it as a "rattle" from underneath the truck. There is just the noise - no clunks or whines. Only happens when accelerating - can't reproduce when revving, coasting, or idling. All U-Joints seem tight, all heatshields seem solid (even the one around the cat), exhaust seems fine. I have banged on everything i can under the truck with a deadblow hammer with no luck and have greased the u joints also with no improvement. Tried to get it on camera but you can't hear it over my Magnaflow muffler.

    Any suggestions? :confused:

    Could a bad carrier bearing or u joint make a "rattle" noise when accelerating?

    bed bolts are tight.

    noise ONLY happens when I am pressing the accelerator...if I let off, it stops...I tried a tank of premium to see if it was knock but that didn't change anything.

    any other ideas?

    I think your catalytic converter is failing.

    This. Seems to be a common issue causing the noise as you have described it.

    Well what I'm wondering is if you hear it slightly right when you start it up and the RPM's overshoot a little bit. In that case you could have someone else start it while you are underneath and possibly help identify which one it is.

    Does it sound like a hollow rattle sound or a hard rattle sound? Hollow like some rice in an oatmeal container, hard being like throwing rocks against a fence.
