Has anyone noticed a rattling noise at idle when truck is in drive with foot on brake? Rattling stops when transmission is put into park, only on when brake is on and car is in drive sitting at a light or stop.

I had a similar situation when my serpentine belt tensioner pulley bearing was going out. You could confirm by removing the belt and turning the pulley by hand. Check the idler pulley, too.
Same here removed th engine cover and noise went away. Going to re-install and put shims in to stop rattle.

Vibration and shake at Idle
Good to know, how long ago were they replaced and was there visible movement. Others did same, but said came back after a year or so. Do you have sliders or running boards? And, how about that spare tire?

Get rid of the engine cover and the associated rattle. Not sure why our engines HAVE a cover in the first place.
1st thing I removed is that useless cover. It is there to give shelter to rodents!
Heat shields, yes!
Also check splash shield under motor and transmission on the underside. Sometimes the bolts loosen up or out.

A big rubber mallet is your friend during the hunt for rattles. Start thumping on things, you’ll be surprised what you find.
BTW, you’ll likely hear some clamoring from the rear e-brake drums, not a lot you can do about those noises since things in there are inherently a little loose.
