Please listen closely throughout the whole video but especially at :33 - :36

I was at Mcd's drive thru the other day and heard this, I crawled under the truck but couldn't find anything but that doesn't mean anything.

Please let me know what you think it could be.

sounds like a hangar on the exhaust is rattling to me bro. check ur hangar, one of the welds might of come loose, the one particularly thats usually welded to the side of the muffler.

Well I know that my heat shield above the motor mount is rusted off and dangles there but that's not what is making the noise, also, the heat shield on my cat is rusted off and is dangling there as well but I don't think that is whats making the noise either because I checked those out the other day.

If **** is just rusted and dangling under your truck you should probably just remove it and trouble shoot from there
