Rattle!

[Deadman514]

I used the search but couldn't come up with anything.

When I'm coasting down the hill from my house I hear a rattle that I hear coming from the front but my passenger says is coming from the rear. I just changed ball joints/unit bearings. I checked the hubs. I wrapped the e-brake cable in a wad of duct tape. I checked everything I could think of and nothing's loose!

It's driving me nuts! My buddy says it happens to all the SDs they work on at the shop but I'm not satisfied with that!

Please help!

..maybe the only one who noticed... :-D may want to have some one else drive your truck, while you ride next to it... it may help in pin-pointing the source...

Man I cannot go any place with out you following me, then again I think you were here first.

 

[Deadman514]

Wow -I've been here longer and you have 4 times the posts!

 

[Deadman514]

You have this problem?

 

[jopes]

no rattles on mine, then again it has just under 70k on the ticker.

did you check the drive shafts? and how about the exaust?

 

[Deadman514]

Not the exhaust.
Sat under the truck and tried to shake everything else-nothing.

On my 1997 F350, I had a clunk/rattle that was really hard to find. Turns out the rear mounting brace for the tail shaft on the tranny was loose. Tighten the devil out of the mounting bolts and the problem was gone.
