    Hey y'all.

    Curious what your thoughts are about this rattle. It's only evident at low RPM's and when the engine is warmed up. Once it goes above around 700 RPMS the noise disappears. I just checked all the valve clearances and they're all perfectly in spec. The truck runs great, just a bit confused about the sound. Do you think it could be timing chain rattle?

    Here is a video if the noise. It's intermittent, but noticeable at low RPM idle.
