Rattle that's driving me nuts!!

[Jeff Krawczyk]

Well I have been under the truck a few times to try and find this noise/rattle and all seems tight...it only happens at a certain rpm which leads me to believe it's something on the exhaust, it is getting a bit more frequent, it comes from the back....has anyone had this issue or have any ideas....thanks

Muffler baffles broke loose?

Tighten all of your side step bolts.

Maybe muffler bearings.( Just saw that Brandon -w posted the same comment)..

Seriously, have you checked everything with the truck jacked up to relieve any stress on the components?

Sometimes the Goofy pinch welds in the muffler break Loose and rattle not a joke lol. Muffler bearings is funny but seriously you need a halogen fluid top up. Try smacking the muffler with a rubber mallet or. Have someone load the truck up to the rpm.it does it.

I've had a similar issue with my 2015. Mine does it when I start the truck until the RPM's level out and I have noticed it happens sometimes when I am slowing down at about 15MPH (Not sure where the RPM's were) but when I step on the gas the rattle goes away. I have gotten under the rear end of my truck to try and find the noise but a friend suggested that I follow my exhaust from the manifold all the way to the back to check for anything that is loose. I haven't had a chance to do this yet, but hopefully I will soon! If I find anything I'll update you!
