    Yesterday I was driving and I heard something strange... every time I would accelerate you would hear some type of rattling noise but it wasn’t form the cabin or the bed, it was from the engine. I was cornering and going on straights and kept doing the noise.

    Anyone knows what it would be.

    The catalytic converter heat shields can create quite the racket, kind of a tin can rattling sound. Check for missing bolts on cat cover and shield above the exhaust.

    It’s hard to explain but every time I would press on the gas it would do the noise but it’s not like something is shaking.
