Checked out brakes as posted,not the problem.Had the same noise today and put the truck in park,noise was the same execpt it had a whinning noise with it this time.First time in the morning is not my best time,so i got back into truck and drove it ,,,,hard.Well the noise stoped and everything works fine.
No check engine lights or any sign of anything being wrong.Works fine,just once in a while it makes like its draging the muffler.

So it makes the rattle noise even when your in park and not moving? If that is the case maybe there is a loose heat sheild or something like that is just reverberating with the vibration of the truck somewhere and isnt anything mechanical. Just a thought.

Yeah. Mabey a heat shield (or shields) that surround the cats are rattling. Go underneath the truck with a hammer and lightly tap the cats and areas of the exhaust system and listen for rattles.

I want to thank all of you for your time on this problem,as luck would have it i found that my little moter that puts 4/wheel drive in or out was hung up half way between in or out.Some lite tapping with a hammer worked.Also was told to use 4/wheel more often so as to keep it working.Again THANKYOU
