2000 Ranger rattle
Just taken delivery of 2000 ranger extended cab. A high pitched rattle like a tambourine starts at 40mph and peaks at 65. It does not change pitch with engine speed and is still there if I dip the clutch and allow the engine to idle. I am not convinced that it is not air disturbance somewhere. The dealer said he couldn't hear it!
Any clues?
