Anybody else had these same rattle issues?

Took it to a dealership and they found it and 'fixed it' and a month later the noise is back. Finally crawled under the truck and found the cause. Now I just have to figure out an easy long term solution. My first instinct is to drill a hole and zip tie the dust cover to the transmission. But that's a little redneck for me on a brand new truck.

Check out this short YouTube video:

Any thoughts?

That works for oil pans on '48 Willys

In all seriousness I'd probably just get a little chunk of squishy foam, maybe even with a 3M sticky side. Doesn't need to be anything fancy.

We have about 14,000 miles on out 2015 Silverado with no issues. Post what you end up doing to fix it incase I ever have the issue I can copy you.

I had a 2015 and put 26k on it and now I have a 2016 with 15k on it. Haven't had an issue.

I like that idea. I was also thinking of making some sort of bracket but this sounds much easier and would likely do the trick.

Problem is FIXED! Thanks BlueWolfFab for the suggestion. Here is what I picked up:

I bought the stuff on the right and installed 2 strips. Choose the Loctite brand because it indicated a 4 lbs rating whereas the Scotch was only rated for 2 lbs. Both were marketed as permanent. I also liked the thickness of the Loctite. It was about 1/2 the thickness of the Scotch. For $3-4 bucks it works like a charm. We will see how it holds up to the heat, road grime, salt this winter, etc...
