tailpipe rattles

[masace18]

i have 1990 ranger with a 2.9 V6. 166K on it. when i turn the truck on and its in idle the tail pipe rattles, very annoying. also when i hit the accelorater it makes a quick rattle then stops. any suggestions?

Check the heat shield on the cat converter, they sometimes break loose and cause the annoying rattle. May have to get it rewelded.
