    Hello!

    I have been having a issue with my truck making a rattling at start up. It only happens when the truck is cold and the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees. I live in south Texas and the coldest the truck ever sees is about 40.

    Last night after having the truck sitting in the driveway all day I started it to move it into the garage, and got the noise. When I tried to pull the truck forward it misfired and threw a P0335 code. The code indicates to replace the crankshaft position sensor but I'm not convinced.

    Truck is a 2018 SR 2.7 2wd and I'm approaching 95k miles



    Does anybody have any input or have seen this before?
