This rattle could be anything, it's a truck. A rock could be stuck in a motor mount or sitting on top of a frame rail, or it could be exhaust heat-shields etc. etc. like Hurst said.


-On a side note

Hahaha, no matter how many times a technician says to do preventative maintenance, people won't. One of the major reasons I got out of the business. So many people think they are being "ripped off". For every one person that does maint there's probably 10 that don't and they think they are saving money because we technicians are out to make a quick buck off of them. It's every good technician's dream to start up an honest shop, but the shops only end up putting the honest technician through hell will ridiculous hours and little compensation. I found it a lot easier to do good work on cars that have been abused, I just buy and resell them no customer to convince service is not useless
