Question idle noise

I don't know if anyone else has this problem with their L. Whenever the truck comes to a stop and is idling I hear a wierd noise for a couple seconds then it stops, but she does it every time I stop. I haven't lost any power in the truck, it just seems like sometings rattling. She has 13,000 miles on her and is a 2001.

I belive they call that the Ford P.O.S. disease. Maybe someone else knows the technical term. The rattling of whatever part could be cause by the rough idle from these 5.4L engines. Seems to happen alot on these things.

I've posted a few times about it, heres one:
