Does it do it only when you step on the gas, or the truck in under load? If it is, it could possibly be pinging/detonation in the engine. It sounds like a metallic rattle. I just cleared up my detonation problem by running 93 octance and soon I'll be doing a full tuneup to hopefully use 87 again ( 93 = $2.25 a gallon here). Anyway, let me know and I can probally help you further.
 






ok its not under any load, no pressure just rolling down the street or trail its just a raddle like a heavy raddle though nto just a screw or something!!!
 






Radium Arm bushing maybe?? Either that or cat heat shield? Radius arm bushings are hard to tell but will make that noise if failing.
 






check the bottle jack it gets loose after time and needs to be resecured
 






whats the bottle jack wheres that located?? ?
