Ok, I'm about to give up on Mustangs. Went to look at an 03 gt with a 5spd today.....33k miles. In case you don't remember or don't know....I sold my 04 because of an elusive rattling noise I could never pinpoint and the dealer couldn't seem to fix. So I goto test drive this car....and it makes the SAME NOISE!
Right about 2.5-2.7k, it makes a metallic rattle sound. It took a minute to find it, but once it warmed up, I could sit in neutral and rev it to that range, and once I found the rattle, I could hold it there for minutes. Even the salesmen heard it. I told him I wasn't interested in a car that had the same noise I got rid of my other one for....
What are the odds of coming across two stangs with the same rattle noise...exact same. Makes me wonder if its something inherent in a mustang....or just some stupid bracket or something loose. Just a very weird sound especially since its limited to that rpm range.
Does anyone ever notice a rattle at that rpm range? Seriously, I'm about to give up on finding a Mustang....although I'm going to go test drive a few more just to see if they make this darn noise too.
