I just fixed a rattling noise on my boss' 99 Ram 5.9L, the torque Converter bolts were hitting against the flywheel inspection plate. I looked at it a month ago and couldn't find a problem because it was not doing it at the time I looked at it, he said it was intermittant, well yesterday he asked me to look at it again because for the last few weeks it has been pretty constant. I heard the noise and assumed right away that it was the TC bolts came loose, so I removed the plate and all the bolts for the TC were tight. Then looked at the inspection plate and could see right where the bolts were hittin, notched that part of the plate out and put it back together and no noise. Something for you to check out.

Wow, I posted about that like nine months ago, a lot has changed since then. The rattle got to be so annoying that I took it to a local garage. Come to find out, it was something in the transmission linkage, and it is a fairly common problem among Dodge trucks of that year. It was a pretty simple fix, all they had to do was put an additional spring in it. I don't remember how much it cost, but it wasn't much. Thanks anyway!
