i'm having the SAME problem! i have an '05 5 door 6i sport......it just started doin the rattling maybe a few months ago. you can only hear it when its in gear though;when its in neutral or park it disappears! but, when its in drive or reverse....man can you hear it rattle away! thankfully im still under warranty for a few hundred more miles! i'm takin it in! let me know what you find!

Thanks guys. well i wenty to the dealership and the guy that changed my oil said it sounds like its coming from the water pump. i did think about the heat shield and ruled that out. wish it was so simple...haha...well keep me updated on your findings and thanks for the response....matt
