Default Trying to identify a rattle

2018 w/2.7
Rattle noise when in drive(only because rpm’s are slightly lower than in park), more pronounced when truck is sloped down towards driver side. Resonates into a cabin somehow.
Anyone had anything similar?
Came about out of nowhere, didn’t install anything new.

Had a similar issue on my 16 3.5L. Ended up being a heat shield or some metal piece on driver side by wastegate. Just bent the metal away from motor and good to go.
Found it by searching the forum here.

Doubt this will help anyone, but who knows.

Turns out the problem was with my Banks intake. The mounting point that reuses the stock rubber damper had separated from the airbox mount.

Banks’ design has the mounting loop just slide in, it’s not fully connected, so it slipped out over time.

That let the intake vibrate against the body at low RPMs.
