Rattling Sound between 2000 and 3000 RPM
I just recently bought a 2007 Sahara Unlimited with 93k on it. I got all the fluids changed. From diffs to tranny to oil to transfer case.. the whole 9 yards. Since then, I hear a rattling noise at 2000 rpm when driving and around 2500-3000RPM when in park. The sound is like mettal vibrating or clanging on metal. Not a ticking sound at all... all CLANG! It sounds like it's coming from the tranny, but may be the engine. I don't know if I started noticing it after to fluid changes or if it was doing it prior to the changes. Has anyone had this issue? How did you fix it? I hope im not screwed....
HELP ME! ! ! ! thanks Al |

Check underneath. Did they have to take off skid plate to drain tranny? Might be loose or not on right.

I have had a similar sound. I have had some success with (get this) burping the air from the cooling system and topping the coolant up.. Seriously sounded like a tranny issue, but as the sound could be heard only above certain rpms, I got some help and traced it to the metal heater core supply lines. ( I think). There are some el cheapo non mandrel bend with crimps and when the coolant flow heated up and the pump rev'd, there is some sort of restriction.
Take a partner out on a drive with the glove compartment removed and a cheap stethoscope... I still have a faint sound, but I think I can live with it. |

Hello Al
Like Peter said, check the heat shield. I've seen this problem a couple of times before, it's rare but I seen it. you will most likly need a couple of cheap nuts part# 06104715AA or #55395955AA If you do go to the dealer ask the advisor for a jeep mechanic, there is always a mechanic who is more into Jeeps then the others. He will solve the problem faster the first time. If you don't ask for a special Tech it's a crap shoot. I check for TSB's for your complaint don't find any. Good luck and happy Jeeping Don't forget to JK wave! others |

Good luck to ya. My 50cents...if it's a 'tinny' sound I vote heat sheild as others have posted. Heat sheilds are not made of heavy steel, they are pretty thin. If the sound is more of heavy metal (no pun intended) I would say a skid plate is loose.
I'd slide under the Jeep and take a peak regardless. |
