2008 Ranger - PROBLEM!!!

[Hahnsb2]

Having observed this problem, I started listening attentively to the truck when running and it seems to also be making a faint rattling noise when beginning to move from a stop and when shifting from 1st to 2nd. It almost sounds like a that diesel engine rattle, but faint.

Almost any vehicle will do this when with too little RPM and too much throttle, it's called pinging.

Good to know. This makes sense given the fact that I tend to drive at low RPM's 2000-2600.
