If diagnosing convertor rattle would you still here the rattle for about 5 seconds or so after you turn the truck off ?

Yes, everything is still spinning, although it sounds like the TC has come apart internally..I would consider addressing the problem very soon.

Yep, you need a TC, and quick!!! You can use the one that they put in the 6.0 that is suppose to be a more heavy duty unit for around $400. This is what I would do, then when the tranny goes call Brian at BTS.

Are you sure you have a stock torque converter, and not an after market multi disk t/c?

Go to directfordparts.com. I had the exact same problem. replaced with a OEM TC and since I'm running stock I saw no problem. I was very surprised by the difference. And the price won't kill you either. 325+100core+shipping. Core is returned when they receive it back. They are part of Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas.

I'm sorry guys I may have posted in wrong section but all set aside the torque convertor is a ATS 5 STAR Viskus Clutch Drive, and my thoughts of it so far, junk... along with ATS Trans Stage 3. Thanks

5 disc Tc is going to be a little more rattling then other stock TC.
Did you check to see if something is loose inside the bell housing?

Chances are your t/c is fine, so long as you are not getting any slippage or excessive temps. Like was said multi disk t/c's are more noisy than a stock t/c, some more than others. I have no experience with ATS products but I have a Precession multi disk t/c and it is rather noisy. I suppose you could get a single disk t/c and that would be more quiet.
Other than the t/c noise have you had any other problems with the ATS trans or t/c?
