I have owned this truck for three years and put 15,000 miles on it. It has buzzed since I have owned it. At 1,800 rpm's only when driving it, going through the gears. I have changed the spider, all new top side gaskets. No change, no performance issues at all. Just cannot find the buzz. Will not do this in park. Can it be in the EGR system? Help driving me nuts!

It sounds like it could be a loose heat shield, but to be sure I need to hear the noise. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Cheers, Ken
