    it will be about 3 or 4 months until the A/C needs to be turned on
    perhaps it worked itself out of the system and will not return
    no need to worry about it now if its not one of the heat shields rattling?

    i approve of ALL of this, who or whom are these a lot of people?

    is there any possibility the new aftermarket windshield was put in improperly to induce some mostly wind related rattles that are totally different vibe than the A/C related one

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Multiple threads ive seen on this forum. It's absolutely possible that an improperly installed windshield could cause it. Especially if it only started happening after the new windshield.

    Start tapping on stuff with your hand or a small hammer til you replicate the noise. Eventually you'll find something loose that will sound like the noise you're getting while driving

    THANK YOU!! @Eatbeers1stgen
    I’ve had this 3000 rpm rattle since I’ve bought my truck and it’s stumped me till
    I saw this thread the video. Sure enough I’m missing those bolts. I placed and nut and bolt in the bigger of the two and the rattle is nearly gone!! Do you remember what size the smaller threaded hole is?

    I’m not exactly sure the size. Just tried all my spare nuts until one fit! Glad it helped you. I was stumped forever until I looked under there.
