This is new. Gently hitting the accelerator from 0mph or from very low speed I get a high-pitched, aluminum sounding rattle. It lasts for about a second or two. I seem to remember a million years ago having another car that did this and it was a heat shield of some kind. It's a 2010 XLT Screw with the 5.4.


What do you think? Heat shield or a skid plate of some kind?

I'd look around the CATS and exhaust. Close spaces can collect debris. Also check your front brakes. The rotor shields can get a small rock stuck in them or you may just need brake pads and the sender is squealing like it's suppose to. Good luck
