Theres a wierd noise coming from under my truck when I put it in drive and im accelerating from stop to about 15 mph then it stops. It only happens in drive and only at those low speeds and some times when I turn to the right a little it dies down but not when I turn to the left. Any ideas?

Is there any vibration that goes with the rattling noise? How many miles are on the truck? Does it sound like marbles in a can? If so then I would guess that it could be your TC starting to go bad. just my $.02

I just had my transmission rebuilt with a new 3 disc torque converter and my temps all look good

Check to see if the 4" down pipe is rattling against anything. Mine 'was' bumping against the side of the transmission.

do you have a general location? I chased a rattle for a year and found out it was my e-brake cable slapping the bottom of the truck.

I had a very badly rusted exhaust clamp that became loose due to loss of section and it rattled. Come to think of it I still need to replace the clamp. I just cut it off since it wasn't doing anything anyway except making noise.

on second thought its a faint rattling more like a squeeking rattle not like a loose downpipe but i checked that anyways. Any other ideas? and my brake cable does not seem to be hittting anything ill try disconecting it and taking it off to see if that makes a difference.

Check the sway-bar bushings and the sway-bar link bushings. I have replaced drivers side sway-bar link twice on my 2000 F350. It will be most noticable on bumpy or gravel roads. Feels like tapping under the floor board. The first time it took me forever to find it.
