Get under your truck with a rubber mallet and start looking for the noise...

Mine will do that when I lug the engine. In my case ,it's the baffles in the mufflers are loose.(glaspak mufflers).Guess I'll take a hammer to them . I know ,but it works for a while. I done that on another set I had. Quiet for a while.

Hey Eric, does it go away or make less noise when you clutch it? Could be a throwout bearing. Does it still have the heat riser on it? Try these tests before you get out the BFH. Russ

could be a belt, but I'd say a throw-out bearing. They're just big fat sleeves, and have a grease fitting on them, load it up w/ grease, and drive on.
