Question:Weird Noise If Hard Acceleration

Post by 71Ford »

If I give it too much gas from a standstill I hear a sound that kinda sounds like "a bicycle chain being dragged over a galvanized fence pole/post" or "kinda like an exhaust pipe slapping real quickly against the frame/body of my pickup" anyway if anybody has any ideas, I'd appreciate it .....my transmission doesn't slip....but I just wonder if maybe it's some sort of transmission problem....my motor seems fine...I don't think it's valve clatter...

Thanks,

Shawn

Marbles in your head :hmm: :D

Fan blade might be hitting the shroud. Check motor mounts.

:hmm: bad motor mount or trans mount? tail shaft rubbing? I would take a good look under your truck.

Used to have a truck with an inline six. If you stepped on it hard the fan would flex and hit the radiator tank just above the fins. Eventually made a nice leak. Oh, and I had good motor mounts. :cry:

kinda sounds like it could be the engine pinging... try retarding your timing a little and see if it goes away
