LOL... my dealer will never find the issue so you are going to need to help us!

I will let you know if it causes damage. I continue to drive the **** out of mine. My dealer said they could not find anything wrong, so until something falls off, it is game time!

So you did take it to the dealer and it made the noise for them?

Did they say it was normal?

Its crazy loud for me so I think its not normal, let me know if you find anything else... how many miles have you driven with the noise and since when?


thanks bud!

Mine has done it since the truck was new. I have put 13,000 miles on it so far. The dealer had it for the entire day to look at the rattle and two other noises. I showed them videos of my noises and even emailed them the videos. They told me that they could not get it to reproduce the noises. They make the noises every time and are very obvious so I am not sure they even looked. Maybe the tech wasn't very good...

Mine has just started... doesnt sound “cheap” but drivability is unaffected...

Up to 14,000 miles now. Nothing has exploded or fallen off. It is supposed to be really cold next week so maybe something will happen.
