The good news is that you are not NUTS!! I had it the minute I installed my AFE C.A.I. It sounds like it's coming from right where the dash meets the windshield under a load or high RPM's. I spoke to A.F.E. about this and they said that their part that fits over the factory box was made a 1/4 of an inch shorter than it is supposed to be. The airbox cover vibrates and the higher RPM's make it resonate thru the fender which meets the firewall and makes that annoying sound. It drove me nuts, I took it off. A.F.E. is aware of the problem and said they would send me a new part once they got with manufacturing and corrected the fitment.
F.Y.I. This was on a 2012 FX4 with 5.0

Glad aFe said they identified an issue. Hope they get your rattle fixed.

Make sure you keep us posted if aFe does anything for this. I am so tired of the rattle and my wife can't even stand being in the truck if I get it to a certain RPM range. I was thinking about going out and seeing what I can do to the lid myself to try and seal it off more and give it a tighter fit.
