No way to do this. It doesn't do it when parked. Only when moving when you first start it and take off.

It does sound as though it's coming from the engine or bell housing area. Yes, it does have the fram orange oil filter with the bedliner looking stuff on it.

Hmm well it could still be the flex plate I guess... first thing I'd do is replace that piece of **** FRAM with a real oil filter like a WIX, Purolator, or NAPA Gold. That could be the source of the noise right there. At the very least that FRAM isn't doing your engine any good.

I picked up a better oil filter and oil to change it myself later today. It's odd that it doesn't do it when sitting at idle. Just when it's first started and put it in gear and take off. Then after 60 seconds or so it stops and won't do it anymore.
