When I crank up my truck it's a loud rattling noise. It also happens when I accelerate.

So, I would check the engine oil because the computer can tell when it is low on oil and shuts the engine off, so it doesn't lock up. If the oil is dirty change the oil and filter, here is a generic guide to show you how and instructions for your car int he images below.

Thank you for your reply. I just got an oil change, so what else could it be?

Can you please check the oil level? Sometimes they forget to fill the engine back up, I say this because of the noise it is making. Can you please shoot a short video of the noise so I can hear it?
