Xterra 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 137,000 miles

Right at about 2,000 - 2,500 RPMs my Xterra makes a rattling noise. I have been researching on the internet and see people saying it could be the VIAS, timing chain, or the heat shield. I honestly have no idea what it is or how to fix it.

It's making a similar noise to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKRTe7A7Kc4. I wish the problems with this thing would just end already... The sound is awful and I feel like if I continue to drive it like this I am going to cause some damage.
