rear end rattle
another issue
I have recently noticed a rattle coming from the rear. happens at all speeds over all terrain. i am unsure if it increases with speed, the wind noise obscures it.
it sounds like the noise a loose washer would make. it is not a snap or pop, not overly loud.
maybe brake caliper rattling on pins?
i am going to get under there and have a look at everything.
I have searched the forums, and don't find anything similar.
Has anybody had a similar noise and been able to correct it?

A coupler in your trailer hitch can produce a rattle. Recommend checking that first. Same thing if your spare tire is even slightly loose. In any case, your idea of crawling around under the truck is a good idea.

no receiver or hitch/pin in.
it is not the calipers, addressed them yesterday.
it really sounds like a loose washer or c-clip rattling.
sounds more like a squeak/rattle. kind of like a dry bicycle chain squeak
