Do you have a rammer? THats what mine turned out to be or check the shocks, i had the bushings go to $hit and was rattling all over the damn place hth

 

I know some people have had noises develop from their hood latch mechanism. Check that for play? Also give the headlights a gentle tug to make sure they're secured at all points.

 

My rattle was my shock... the lower bolt loosened up and made an incredible loud knock and rattle in the cab. Its amazing how some noises just amplify under the body.

 

My guess is a shock too, My 02 when I bought it had the same problem and it was the shock.

 

I have a similar sound and it is heard typically under 50 mph. I feel mine is more the Left side. I too have gone over everything. On mine it isn't the shocks.

 

I had a knocking on the right side and some vibration........it was a loose A arm.....I guess the dealership didn't tighten it up after hey replaced the right front wheel bearing hub assembly

 

t-bar mounts i have broke some in the past on other trucks.

 

Thanks for all the ideas guys!

 

Well rattle is still there. Took the pass side spindle off today while replacing the hub assembly, and the ball joints didnt feel like they had any loose play in them. The hub had play so I hoped that was the noise. It wasnt. I even took my grill off today to see if that was the rattle and that wasnt it. I can figure this out. Everything seems tight!

 

We could start a list of potential causes.

1. Hood latch mechanism
2. Hood shocks
3. Cowl screw
4. Windshield wiper mechanisms
5. Control Arm bushings
6. Shock mounts
7. Antenae mount
8. Brake pads
9. Front sway bar mount
10. Passenger side front speaker
11. Passenger window switch
12. Penny in the A/C
13. ???

 

Hmm thanks ceri. Can brake pads rattle?

 

OK! Ceri, you are a god!!!!!!! Got to thinking about it. And realized the noise started after a recent brake job. Bought some "breake quiet" from O'reilys. and the rattle is GONE!!!!

Thanks for all the ideas guys!

Ceri, I owe you a beer bro!!!!!

 

Yep....

Pretty much....

 

nice, my rattle was the adjustable pads that hold the hood sits on closed, they had turned down somehow so i just adjusted them back up and its all good!!!
glad you found your problem btw lol

 

Man I was tearing my hair out! I was under my truck at least 50 times looking for something loose. It was driving me NUTZ!
