Truck Making Bad Noise

I posted this on the 12 Valve Engine and Drivetrain forum also.

Took truck out to go to dinner. Stopped at a store and left running for about 5 minutes with AC on while wife waited in truck. As I was leaving, truck started to make noise. Sounds like a fan blade rattling or touching something, or a loose exhaust shield. Does not make noise while idling, only in gear while driving. Turned AC off and still had the noise. Drove home and checked fan blade. Just a little play in the clutch. Removed clutch fan and test drove, still have the rattling noise. Pulled inspection cover on auto tranny to check flex plate. Looked OK. Never had KDP done on this truck. Would that make a tinny type sound if it is working its way out and rubbing or touching something? Noise is coming from front of truck. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Brad
