    Very hard to diagnose from just your description. Can you post a vid of the noise, it would really help the people here, help you.

    Aren't you due for a timing belt at 100k on the 4.7? Belt tensioner?

    Pull the serpentine belt off, then use your hands to try wiggling and spinning each pulley. I would bet one is loose. (or you're due for a timing belt and associated parts)

    Does it rattle when engines on?
    Does rattle increase with RPM
    Does rattle increase only under load?
    Does rattle make noise with truck off an slamming the door?

    Thanks for the responses. Yes, this time it was out of my control. I took it to the shop to get the timing belt and water pump replaced. They wanted another $1,000. For brakes. I did it myself yesterday. Now I am back to everything is ok with the 07 truck. That's why I have 2 older Tundras. Not much goes wrong with these trucks.

    I hear ya, my '07 has been perfect for 14 years but in the last year I have done many prevented maintenance items on her to keep her running for another 14 years.......these include front and rear differentials fluids, transfer case fluid, spark plugs, timing belt with water pump, tranny fluid, door weather stripping, tailgate damper and just recently 6 hours of labor VACUUMING and cleaning and Armor All the complete interior. A black interior and a chocolate lab doesn't mix well. But now inside and out she's in showroom condition.
