Torque converter or engine rattle?
Here goes, when I first start my truck cold after it has been sitting for at least overnight it makes a loud rattling noise for about 5 to 10sec.The engine is new and just barely broken in. Last fall I blew up the stock engine. I'm hopeing The noise is not the engine. The transmission is screwed up, the converter does not lock up at highway speeds. I do hear a rattle from the bell houseing area after the engine is warm but I can't figure out what is causeing the rattle when first started. Can a bad converter creat a loud rattle when the engine is first started?Any help would be appreciated.

It's definitly not the cats, I installed long tubes and new cats when i put the engine in Italmost seems like its related to oil pressure or the converter. Before i blew the engine the converter would some times lock up, for example when driving down the parkway and pulling out of one toll booth it would lock up in fourth the next toll booth it wouldn't. Now it never locks in overdrive. What time on fri?
