Its really true what everyone is saying about the 7.3 making some strange sounds. when
i first got my truck it was my first diesel and to me it sounded like the truck was tearing
it self up but after having quite a few people look at it iam told thats just the sound it makes.

Enjoy the new truck, i love mine.

Is your truck an automatic? If it is it could be the torque converter rattling.

Mine is doing this now and will have to be replaced soon.

It is an auto,however the noise seems to be coming from the engine. i am not overly concerned at this time because the truck seems to be working great and other members have told me that these engines are noisy anyhow. One wierd thing i noticed is that the engine oil was recently changed and still appears clean. My old 350 would turn the oil black in 5 minutes of running. Is this engine just clean? Thanks for a great forum.
