5 speed Exploder engine runs smooth and quiet accelerating or decelerating but rattles while driving at a any constant speed in any gear but any slightest acceleration or maintaining speed on an uphill grade,the rattle goes away. It will also rattle in neutral and just revving the engine. Would describe it as a diesel sound. I bought it about 1500 miles ago and previous owner said it was lifter noise. Im not so sure. Ive tried several "snake oil" remedies such as flushing engine with ATF before oil change, marvels mystery oil and lucas and it hasnt gotten any better or worse. Hasnt gotten any better or any worse. All the searches ive done it seems that everyone is having the opposite problem of rattling while accelerating
 
IDK why but my first thought is a loose heat shield.
