Catalytic converter innards loose inside the can, maybe.

When I had a routine tune-up performed on my 3.9, the PCV valve was replaced and it now rattles. It's located on top the left valve cover on my truck. Hard to say if that's what yours is doing, but I thought I'd mention it. Good luck finding it.
