    Have a slight rattle on acceleration, only when at low RPM, low speed and higher gear. Seems to rattle when I go to accelerate and the truck down shifts, then the rattle. It doesn’t feel like a slip or anything like that. No loss of power, no hesitation, nothing to indicate that something is wrong other that rattle. I have checked skid plate and heat shield, nothing is loose. Any ideas??

    It seems like it’s coming from under the hood but it’s hard to pin point it while driving. I’d rather it be a u joint than timing chain or tensioner.
