Rattle when accelerating

[Caleb Sousley]

For some reason I noticed tonight both times my truck was cold and I started it to drive, as I started to accelerate I heard a rattle, almost like something was vibrating. Then when the engine was warm I wouldn’t hear it anymore when accelerating. I’m due for a oil change soon so I was gonna have them check it when they do that. Any ideas on what is causing it?

Sounds like it's possibly partial engagement of one of the Integrated Wheel Ends (IWEs). Put it in 4A and see if the noise goes away.

My guess it may be exhaust related. Perhaps it may be a clamp or a baffle.

I defer to @FordTechOne

I did recently use 4A in the snow, I’ll try that tomorrow

I do have a aftermarket exhaust so that very well could be

Also check all the bolts underneath, I had a gnarly rattle then I found a missing bolt on the oil drain plate

Tested it in 4A today and still made noise so it must be something rubbing and creating the sound I’m hearing

Howdy, I am late to this thread, but have almost exact same thing happening. Did you ever figure anything out?

Not yet, I haven’t even been listening for it lately lololol. It’s getting a oil change Monday and if they see something off in my truck I’m sure they will say something to me so we shall see
