Shake Rattle and Roll

<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->

I have a 01 F150 and like so many others have the dreaded rattle! When I accelerate at higher speeds I have a rattle under the hood. If I am going say 30 mpr and step on the gas, i get a rattle under the hood. My rattle is associated with acceleration at high speeds. What could it be? Any ideas?

Sounds like spark knock? Check timing, EGR.

Thanks for the advise. I should have been more specific. When I have the knock or rattle, it occurs when i have my truck tuned re-config. I have a hyper-tech programer. When I run my truck stock there is no rattle. When I run it modified I have a rattle? Does that make a difference. I guess I will just do an all around tune up and see if that fixes it.

Sounds like it is pinging (spark knock) to me. What octane fuel are you using? You may just have to move up a grade because of the chip.
