Official Clutch Chatter Thread
Does yours chatter at low RPM or when you lug your truck? I mean chatter as in making a chattering noise like the '99-'03 Super Duty 6-speed PSD's do, but not quite as loud.
My IDI has clutch chatter.

You have a 5 Speed? I thought you had a E4OD.

No sounds outta mine, the fly wheels knocks harder than an old Chevy 305 when you turn it off with the clutch engaged in neutral, but other than that, seems to be fine, even with the mileage that's on it, reverse can be a pain some times.

The rattle you get when lugging a Diesel (Strictly a NO NO) is the Diesel pulse slamming all the drive train slop back and forth destroying everything from motor to axles! You'll most likely hear it in the transmission. This does not mean there is a problem with the truck!
Either put the DMF back on or fill the transmission to the top and kiss your transmission goodbye in time. How long depends on how much you let it idle in neutral, though I must admit it'll likely out live any of us unless you live in a cold region that you never shut your truck off in and it spends horrendous idling hours.
-Enjoy

This is called gear rollover rattle, not chatter!
