Re: cracked flexplate sound but not cracked ?

Might check your starter clearance...Sometimes they'll move around even if the bolts are tight. Might add a starter brace while your down there...Good luck PS. Your response to removing the converter shield was unclear. Does it make the noise with the shield removed? If so, then check the starter. If not, then hammer out the contact area on the cover or replace it with a plastic one. Hitting coons, possums, dogs or rocks can bend those covers and cause that sound...Get a video with your phone laying under the truck before and while the truck is starting and running (with the cover off)...
