Hi All, I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer edition with the 5.4 liter engine. I have 170,000 miles on it. On Monday when driving down the freeway my car started making a rattling metallic sound when I accelerated and the car went over 2000 rpm, it was louder when going around 55-60 but would stop when done accelerating. It also make a clunking catching type noise at that speed. Otherwise it is driving just fine. I decided to try switching it to 4wd to see if that made a difference and low and behold the noise is gone. I haven't driven it at highway speed again to see if it makes the clunk noise again but I suspect it will not. I am wondering if this could be a problem with the IWE system. I would love any input and direction so we can get this sorted out and fixed. Thank you!!!!
