oil pan
i've got a 75 f250 4x4 with a 390. there is a high rpm rattle and it sounds like there is a loose baffle of loose bolt in the oil pan. i am wonderiing if you can drop the pan with the motor still in the truck? any thought would be appreciated!!!

Yes you can drop the pan in the truck. Ounce you get it loose it will drop a few inches then you have to remove the oil pump pickup tube witch is just two bolts on the pump and one on a main bearing cap stud. Then the pan will drop right out.

The best thing I can tell you to do is get under your rig and have someone rev it up to where it rattles so you can locate it.

There's no baffle in the oilpan.
My guess is what you are hearing isn't in the pan...it's the flywheel.
It's wobbling, usually caused by the ring gear coming loose (it's sweated on) and when that occurs, the noise is radiated throughout the powertrain.
