I’m trying to figure out what this dang rattle is, I can’t find it and I’m bound to pull every bolt looking. Just want to make sure it’s not something crazy someone has seen/heard before with Ac or something. Doesn’t do it every time and is not a big deal I just don’t like it.

Almost sounds like v-tech.

That’s funny, nah no drones in the truck. It’s the rattle at around 7 secs my best guess is exhaust rattling from what all I have read. Guess ima have to deal with it

does sound like exhaust system. its a 14 are all the rubber hangers still soft underneath where they mount on the chassis? I had an anoying sound in my 98 also, traced to the cat. Your's is a different noise though.

I have the same sort of rattle when starting out...almost like a growl and it can happen when letting off the accelerator....does not do it during highway driving and may not do it each time I stop, but from a morning startup and going down our driveway it happens most every time. I have looked at the exhaust etc and it all seems solid...cannot seem to reproduce the sound by trying to move or shake areas under the truck....would appreciate any input

I assume mine was the c style clamp that holds the exhaust on, it has actually just stopped all together or I’ve gotten used to it one.

When I searched, parts seemed solid but I suppose another look is warranted.....will check the clamps again.....

Start by checking plastic panels are all pushed in. Kick plate thingies too. I cleaned my buddies truck and his 2015 had loose panels inside. He had no idea lol. So I just clicked them back in. Check the obvious things like gloves box loose items. Any storage for that matter. If you have the ones under the mats in the back etc. Seat belts against the plastic. You could buckle them all up and see if it goes away. Check seat bolts. If you have car seats the buckle will rattle off back window (ask me how I know lol). A pillars, B pillars. Check tail lights are properly secured. Check headlights properly secured. The reason is people change bulbs and may forget a screw etc. My POS Chevy cobalt had a bunch of busted baffles in the muffler and it sounded sort of like that. Maybe tap the muffler with a rubber mallet and see if it rattles. Mud flaps? Fender flares ? Wheel well liners might do that too?

Anyways, good luck [emoji1787]
