Morning gentlemen.
I'm looking for thoughts, advice, ideas, or any other form of information about the issue i'm having with my '02 Ranger.
it's got 113K Miles, I keep it well maintained, and I recently had to replace the thermostat housing (what a job, beware the rockauto replacement part).
My issue is that when I start it up and it's cold, I get a horrible metal rattling sound, seemingly from the passenger side exhaust system, just in front of the rear wheel.
I have factory exhaust, stock truck, and this issue just presented itself after completing the thermostat housing replacement.
I also flushed the cooling system and refilled it with new fluid.
I don't have a CEL on, no trouble with any fluids I can check, no problems with power or performance.
Thoughts?
