Rattle while in gear and stopped

[DJaquez]

I have developed a rattle when stopped in gear with engine running, sounds like pipes or something rattling (metal to metal). I have crawled under the truck while doing this and can not find the rattle by holding the exhaust etc. Any suggestions . Yes I am thinging about taking it in to the Dealer.

Check to see if your transmission dipstick tube is rattling against anything.

My truck came from the dealer with a ty-wrap holding it to a metal heater line and I've never heard it rattle.

My transmission tube is tied to the heater hose as well. And it is snug. Thanks though.

Sounds like what my truck has been doing for quite sometime. Its from a



injector that is nearing the "out-of-spec" and not closing all the way



(probably). Are you hearing a very noticable metalic tick that changes alittle



while running? Sometimes it does it louder than others.





These injectors are like spark-plugs in my opinion some will last longer than



others... A solenoid A-top an Injector is only good for so long... i was really



peaved when i found out that the injectors were electricly fired, and atleast



2 times per piston stroke...



Oh well, ill keep her untill the 100,000 mark comes around (Warranty Ends)



Wouldnt want to absorb an entire engine meltdown, or close to it, because a



injector wants to stay open and do what you see in ceamans Thread.

P. S. If my truck was or gets any louder than it is, i would take it to the



dealer and make them do the Inj. shutdown test. So, yes i say take it to the



dealer.
