Bad strange noise form engine
 

My engine or trans is making a nose that sounds sorta like a pot that is engaged I took the belt off and still makes the noise
The noise goes away at 1200 rpm and has got louder in the last day just started yesterday
Any ideas?

need some more info. can you go into more details about your problem

It's a noise that sounds like a pot engaged it goes away at 1200 rpm it's not an asseory off the belt and it's not the down pipe truck runs good shifts good

a pot engaged? i have no idea what your talking about.

More like a metal heat shield rattling and brakes grinding together does this idling

5 speed transmission? If so and you have a single mass flywheel, gear rollover from the transmission. If it's a 5 speed with the stock dual mass flywheel, it's probably ready to grenade. If it's an auto, not sure what to tell you. lol

get us a video

It's a auto and I noticed that the fuel filter lid pulses with the engine idling I don't know how to post videos with a I phone

I've checked all the simple things I can think of trans inspection cover the down pipe the truck shows 342k miles I hope it ain't a wrist pin or rod or bearing

As far as the fuel filter lid, how high fuel pressure you have? I've heard of that with higher pressures (around 75 or a little more). It's gonna be really hard to guess at that noise without a video for me. If the noise goes away with rpms, you can bet its not internal like you're worrying about. It would get worse in that case.

I can make a video put have no clue on how to post it
I even hooked a 12000 lbs trailer to it today and it the noise just goes awAy at 1300 rpm or so
Ive head it at 3000 rpm and no noise but at idle it's horrible

Get a piece of garden hose. Hold to your ear and locate the sound that way.
Then get back with us on what you find.

lol! redneck scope!

hahahaha

x2

Do you have the stock DP or a good DP, it could be loose or touching the firewall just a guess.:-huh

:-drink

bellhousing bolts nice and tight?

I'll check bell housing bolts already checked torque convertor I'll check dp again

It's difenatly sounds like it's coming from the torque convertor

Cracked Flex Plate?

I didn't check that but will sounds like a rattle and clunk and grind all together but still goes away

Yeah, check the flex plate real good. You may have a cracked one. They can make some really strange noises when they are on their way out and you DON'T want to let it go until it comes apart.

Well I can't seer nothing wrong with flex plate so I took the dp off still has a noise so I guess I'm gone pull the trans and see if my noise Is motor or trans I'm gonna be mad once I do it and find that it's something stupid simple

Does the truck make this noise in all gears? Reverse, Neutral, etc?

Yes and park just idling it will go away when the engine has a load

I really wish I could get a video Of it doing this I've parked it for now and am driving my other psd with 15" of lift and 42" tires to work I hooe it's simple

Thanks guys I found the noise the flex plate is completely broke in 2 pieces atleast it wasn't the engine 342000 miles so I can't complain to much

Wide Open Performance has cyro treated flex plates available if you want to go in that direction.

Thanks but I had a extra one my 97 crew cab 4x4 started as a auto and I tore the zf5 out of another 97 I got and put in it so I had a spare e40d and really a whole spare parts truck I got 3 of these things really wish I could post pics for yall

what year is the truck with the broken flexplate?
