This might sound odd, but I had a rattle that I couldn't figure out for a bit. Seemed to come and go while driving and came from behind the cab. It was driving me crazy. Turned out the truck didn't have the spare up under the bed and the spare hanger was clanging periodically. It was pretty random and something I never would have really thought about until I crawled under and hit the hanger with my shoulder while inspecting everything I could under the bed... the hanger clanged. I put the spare up under and haven't heard it since.

I read about a guy who finally found the rattle in his truck - he had to cut his drive shaft apart and there was a note inside a 1/2 nut that congradulated him on finding it. I guess it was some (about to be laid off) GM worker that did it
