Clatter on acceleration

Still getting an intermittent clatter on acceleration. Has always done it. Undercarriage checked for loose stuff and one heat shield secured. 2020 5.0 100k.

Are these 4x4 trucks? Maybe iwe? Often a checkvalve. Easy test, turn to 4A or unplug solenoid by brake booster.

A video uploaded to youtube would be very helpful. Your clatter maybe someone else's roar. Their roar might be my rattle.
