I noticed my truck especially in a drive
Thru or garage where you can hear it more has a rattle sound, almost like something is loose in the front end area.

I have had a shop check in the past, tighten everting up and it got better but it’s still there.

anyone else have this issue or know what is causing it?

If it’s the waste-gate there’s either a TSB or it’s nit a problem anyway. Ask your dealer if you have a warranty and sleep well if you don’t

it’s probably nothing if you need a box and echo to notice it. I smell good everywhere except in an elevator.

Ok all problem was solved! was non of the above. So I dropped it off the dealer and they found the issue, it was the SPP down pipes connecting to the stock exhaust, the fit was tight so it the bottom of the pipes were touching the frame causing a vibration/ clicking noise.

Went to an exhuast shop after I got it back, and the custon fabricated 3 inch pipes from the down pipe to exhaust problem solved! sitting about 2 inches higher no rub no more noise! apparently the down pipes were a tight fit.
