    If your Trucks rear inner fenders rattle, try taking a piece of rubber hose about 4 or 5 inches long and slice it longways and slide it on the leading lower edge as pictured above, it greatly reduced the rattling on my truck.

    My truck makes A LOT of noises. Not sure if this is one of them, but it can't hurt to do a little cheap fix like this!!

    Good work!

    I really didn't pay attention, I just grabbed whatever I had in the garage, guess it was around 5/8" but doubt it would matter much if it is a little smaller or bigger.

    How timely. I just noticed this when I was washing my truck this afternoon, I shut the door and heard the noise. Was going to do a search here to see if anyone else had this. Since the truck is still under warranty I was going to have the stealer deal with it. This is something even I could fix. Thanks.
