Buzz or Rattle when starting

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem before.

It usually starts at 10-20 mph, mostly on turns.

I can't pin point the sound, but it sounds like around the back of the transmission.

After the buzz is when the rattle kick in.

It normally only happens when the truck is cold.

Thanks

Chekc your catalytic converter heat shields, they like to loosen up and cause rattles, also make sure no rust is between them, that can cause a big racket.

Thanks for your reply...

I had it looked at and they mentioned the same thing, but it has continued since they bent them around.

I should also mention that the sound at times also sounds sort of like a metalic/grinding sound.

I haven't engaged my 4wd lately but it sounds like one that is not completely disengaging. I have had that problem before with a Ranger before, so I am familiar with that sound. I am really just at wits end with this thing right now.
