Almost sounds like a rattle I have. Does it only seem to do it in certain RPM ranges? Mine rattles right around 2000, normally just in first and second, sometimes all of the gears. I believe mine is my exhaust pipe rattling against the crossmember. I can't even put an 1/8th inch drill bit between them. Might wanna take a look at that.

Yea only does after sitting and in 1st gear after bout 1500 rpm but move you do the first take off after crank up there's no more rattling it does it every time after a sitting more then 5-10 mins on first take off that's it. Won't do it if you rev it in at same rpms after it sits. But it will if your driving. It runs great no loss of power I drove it 70 miles todat at 75 mph on interstate. But it's just something I want to fix because I like to make things right

So it only does it when you're moving (rolling) or it will make the noise when just revving the engine and not moving? It's hard to hear anything on the video but I thought I heard a distant clunk that increased in frequency with the RPMs (and speed?). The most common cause would be wheel hubs/bearings or front drive shaft u-joints. The driveshaft still spins whether you're in 4x4 or not. I know the flexplate bolts on automatics are prone to coming loose but I don't know about flywheel bolts. I'm just throwing out some ideas for others with more experience to chime in.

It only does when moving after it has sit for 5 mins or more once you reach 1500 rpm or higher but goes away by second gear then doesn't do it again till you turn off. It's more of hollow sound then a hub or bearing and i figured hubs would be constant

Now I'm wondering if flex plate bolts do that? Anyone know ?
