Thanks all! Dave, heat shield seems solid.

At the time this all happened, we were using cruise control going 64 mph and began to go uphill. The cruise control bar became disengaged from the throttle body and I think the belt came off at that time also.

Engine stop ll has plenty of power, but there’s a noise coming from around the torque converter. Kind of a rattle mechanical noise. We ll take it to the shop Dave recommended when it opens.
