I have had several 2.4i they have more low down torque than the 2.7 but soon looses it as the revs climb, great towing motors, diff ratio is 4.625 teeth 37/8 the 2.7 is 4.375 teeth 35/8, if it rattles on startup it could be the ends but more likely the timing chain, if they get really bad then the chain can rub through the waterway to the water pump with disastrous consequences, yes they all have LSD on the rear, as for reliability they are very good, anything else you want to know just ask, Rick
