Bad sound?

[cameronsclone]

I'm not sure if this should go in tranny or engine so I'm betting it's a problem in this section. It sounds like something rattling, but I just don't know what it is. I had it checked for an emmissions test not too long ago, and the guy adjusted my throttle to be lower (it idled around 1200) and accidentally dropped a rachet piece into the engine bay, and we searched for at least 45 mins and couldnt find it. Decided it fell into the frame or something, and I looked around for an hour at my house after and still couldn't find anything. In the vid, you can hear it at low RPMs, and when the RPMs fall after a rev. Any ideas?

Are you talking about the knocking at the beginning when you first started the truck, if so it sounds like a broken motor or tranny mount.

FOD! That is Foreign Object Damage. I would have made that little joker find that tool if it took him all night. No telling where it went.

I agree 100% theres no telling where it went and what damage it could or already it can do.
Take it back to the guy and say find it NOW.

Re: Bad sound?

Ok, not the mounts, but I'm still checkin it out. Found the object, got neighbor to take a look and he's got small arms, so he reached arond and found it a week or so ago. I forget where it was though And I'm talking about all the rattle(I think it's all from the same thing) but you can hear it when you give it some gas, or when it sinks to low RPMs.

I could not hear it good in the video. Cats can make ratttle sounds, loose flywheel bolts, I had a loose clamp on my exhaust that was causing a rattle.

Sorry to bring this back to the dead, but I thought I'd share with you guys what the problem was. The flywheel was some how outta whack, and once that was replaced, it ran awesome.
