scraping noise
I have a 2002 F-250 Super Duty with only 37K miles. Recently, it's making a short scraping noise from somewhere underneath when I reach 43 mph with slow acceleration on a flat road. It only lasts a second and goes away, even if I stay at 43 mph. No noise at any other speed, or acceleration rate. My mechanic found a heat shield loose, and welded that, so that's not the problem. Has anyone an idea?

That's not going to be an easy one to track down. Does it happen any other time?
The only thing that comes to mind would be something transmission related. How well has this truck been maintained?

Can you describe the noise any other way? Like "metal on metal", or what comes to mind when you hear it?

Scraping sound on F-250
The sound is similar to rubbing a sharpening stone over the edge of a shovel. Since it only happens at a certain mph, it may be also at a certain rpm, which I hope doesn't mean transmission trouble.
