Do they make an aftermarket flexplate for a v10 truck. My dually is making that rattling bolt sound, and it sounds like it is coming from the converter area. It has a 47re tranny and low miles. I figured I would pull the inspection cover, and you can see the converter "bouncing" around at idle. If you give it some gas, it will true it's self out and the noise goes away. Could the plate just be weak?

Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

You would think it's already heavy duty in a heavy duty truck.
I would just replace it. I don't know what flex plate was used in those SRT-10 trucks with auto trans.

I would have just bought a new one from the dealer, but they are discontinued. That's why I am checking the aftermarket.

Any chance the bolts got loose at one time and buggered up? Maybe try new bolts first.
