Hi Joe,
Sorry to hear about your issue. I'm sure someone with more experience will jump in with better advice, but until they do...

It could be a loose heat shield or exhaust component.

Or...could be the water pump.

Are you USAF? Because we're the only people that know what FOD means....

Thanks for the input, I'll be sure to check out the shielding and exhaust while I've got it on the lift this weekend.

Yes, I've been stationed at Barksdale AFB for almost 3 years now. Are you still in or have you retired?

Hit the muffler hard with a rubber mallet. If an internal baffle is loose, it will rattle. Tends to happen at a specific driving speed, like what you reported.
