The truck just started making a rattling noise when you accelerate it doesnt do it when you start driving until you hit around 10 miles then it starts and gets really loud. It started when I added oil cause the dip stick said it was low. I have also been told its running rich cause sometimes black smoke comes out the exhaust so Im wondering if its my engine or something to do with fuel??
