Car gurus i need a little help
Oct 24, 2018, 7:53 AM

I’ve been hearing a rattling noise from truck the past two weeks. Doesnt sound too serious but I would like to know what it is. I only hear the noise if it’s in idle, doesn’t make the noise when I’m driving if that makes any sense. Just wondering what could be and maybe the expected cost to get it fixed. Thanks.

Probably the shot gun rack in the back window is loose.

Or your confederate flag pole in the truck bed has a loose bolt.

rev the engine and return when as the RPM decreases?

If the answer to that question is positive...

then be lining up a cat converter cause the baffles inside yours have broken loose. It won't hurt anything. My old truck has been rattling for a year and it still runs like a top.
If you go through a safety inspection it will probably raise some eyebrows but if you don't then your wife will be delighted. She can run her boyfriend out the back door at the last minute now cause she can wait til you turn in the drive to pull her panties up.

It's getting pretty cold out. Make sure you change the air in your times from warm weather air to cool weather air. Mine was doing the same thing and this got it fixed.

had similar problem, but only when I turned

found out there was a spray paint can laying in the floorboard. Pulled it out, rattle quit.
Sounds like you probably have a loose fender.

But seriously sounds like it could be a broken strut.

I will almost guarantee that you need to replace the OEM

10 gauge Jompson clamps on each corner of the vehicle with 6 gauge Jompson clamps. They're easy to replace, you just need to go to a parts store and ask for a set of 4, and a low pressure speculum to install them with.

question is the equivalent of calling a plumber and saying "I found a drop of water in my house, what's broken?"
Need more deets than this to be useful.

When I start the truck it sounds fine. When I put the truck in park/neutral it sounds fine. It’s just when i put it in drive the rattling starts and then stops until I come to a red light. Almost sounds like it’s coming from under my truck but could be wrong. It’s an 02 Nissan Frontier. Wish i could give better information but that’s the best i can do.

Not really to be honest but appreciate the video. I’ll look up a few youtube videos to see if I can’t find a better explanation. Thanks for posting this though

rattlesnakes? Seems like this would be the first think you should check for.
