06 rattle/drone noise? Started at first only when put in reverse or gear, but stopped when put in park/neutral! First thought it was alt pulley again as same thing when I replaced it. Pulled serp belt and didn't make diferance. Put new tensioner on anyway since it bounced. No gravel or noise appears to be coming from dmf area. With hood open don't hear it. But in cab and under car it's really annoying. Was only noticeable when stopped at lights before but now while driving. I'll have car up on stands in a couple weeks to replace outer drivers cv that I haven't had time to do. Any ideas or experiences of similar noises? Would best describe sound of loose exhaust bracket or muffler rattling frame, but havent seen anything loose. Any motor mounts been prone to get loose or wear out? Thanks in advance, Matt!
