Here we go again... Please watch and listen to video and help!
Im starting to get sick and tired of dealing with my truck...
Here is the lastest thing to start going on. It has this pretty nast rattle on the FIRST COLD start of the day, and only when its REALLY cold. Like 45* and under. Just started about a week ago and this is the 3rd time ive heard it. Goes away once its warm and doesnt do it again untill the next first cold start of the day. Thought it was a cat, but checked after a short drive and they dont rattle. Could it be the flexplate? I also noticed a little bit of fresh oil from around the oil filter and bottom of the bell housing.

My lifters in my 2000 don't pump up right away on a cold start either.
They also have a tendency to bleed down after running it hard and sitting at an idle.
I have ran all sorts of cleaning products through it and never been able to fix it completely. I just cann't see tearing it apart just to change the lifters since it has the dreaded piston slap as well. I am building a new motor for mine.

Lifters were replaced with new LS7s when the cam was swapped. It definitely sounded like it was coming from the bell housing area. Oil right now is just conventional 5w-30 but Im switching back to Amsoil full synthetic 10w-30 after my next tank of gas is gone.

No stall in it.
Nothing around that area should've been touched when the cam swap was done.
But I did notice a little bit of oil around the bottom of the bellhousing and oil pan where they meet. Could something with the rear main cause that noise?
I even put my hands on the manifold heat shields and they weren't loose. Is there any other heat shields in that area?
