rattle at aprox 2200 rpm

[nkelly57]

2001 Exp XLT 4WD V10. It seems as if the engine has a rattle that starts at aproc 2200 to 2400 rpms. Engine seems to be ok with no rattles at idle or lower rpms. Any ideas?

Check the dust shield on the bottom of the bell housing (front of the transmission). Mine was missing a bolt and was rattling for years until I figured it out. Otherwise it could be just about anything. If it only does it while in gear, then start the search around the heat shields and things near the drive shafts.

On a side note, did you swap in the V10? That would be pretty cool. Otherwise if it is stock, it would be a V8.

They made a V10 for Excursions back in the day, so it is possible he swapped it in.

Thanks for the reply. It appears to have come stock with the V10. Has aprox 215,000 miles.

Take a pic and post it. I guarantee it did not come from the factory like that but if you have a V10 in your Expedition people are going to want to see it, including myself! That would be cool.
