Default Sounds like the motor is done...
So i started up the old beast today to move a trailer... (didn't feel like swapping hitches to the '13...) and as soon as it cranked and started, this was the racket i heard. WTF is that? Kinda sounds like the motor is done... (Excuses my hand covering the camera in the video...) Truck is a '95 5.0L, ~140k miles and all maintenance done properly since new...

That sounds like an exhaust leak around the manifolds to me.
If you rev it a bit you should know for sure.

I'm not that stupid... Oil is fresh and exactly where it should be.

In case you haven't figured it out by now, sarcasm doesn't carry over text.
