Rattle when accelerating
I'm new to this so bear with me and am by no means a gear head so I apologize in advance if I say anything that may sound dumb.
I recently bought my 2007 ford f150 XLT and I love the truck but I also just noticed that there seems to be a rattle when I accelerate. It starts at about 15mph and only rattles when I'm on the gas. I have searched this problem and found a variety of things it could be. I tried for the first time today putting in 4 wheel drive and noticed that it does not rattle at all when 4 wheel drive is locked in. I'm clueless and could only guess that maybe a u joint or something is bad?
I'm taking back to the dealership Monday to have them look at it but I would kinda like to have an idea of what the problem could be before I do so any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!
