Its been a good weekend. I finished the gauge install, and then went for round five to try to find the source of the rattle.
While under there I found a black widow spider (or she found me) as she came after me. I had seen webs, but it was a bigger spider than I expected.
After killing her, I went to find the rattle.
I finally found it. It was the brackets holding the air bags to the rear springs. Why I didn't find the source earlier was because the bolts were tight. What they did was install the air bags over the stock overload springs. Then they inserted a bracket under the overload and then secured it with brackets under the main leafs. The brackets between the main leafs and the overloads could move just enough to rattle.
Well I feel better and the truck is nice and quiet.
Thanks for all the help.
