Default 2013 F-150 FX4 Ecoboost Metallic Fan Blade Style Rattle from Torque Converter

Hi Folks,

Need your advice.

What do you make of this rattle?

Started last week after I had the dealer replace the transmission fluid at 147,000 kms ( not sure if that's a factor ).

First noticed it appear very briefly when accelerating from a stop, then noticed it when decelerating and coasting. Now when the truck is starting and just sitting in the driveway it just rattles all the time like this.

Can definitely be present when applying E-brake, left foot on brake, slightly feather the gas pedal while in Drive. Wife did that for me this morning and I took this video.

Your input would help as I am trying to sort out whether to take this to a transmission shop or the dealership.

Many thanks for any posts.

Take it back to the dealer that changed the fluid.

Solved. Went back to the dealer and that noise was caused by a broken exhaust clamp that rusted through. See pic.
