i dont know. i hear the noise when i?m moving, stopped, or even in park sometimes. its pretty loud, its sorta like a jingly noise. its not constant, but it does it intermittently EVERY time i drive the truck.
The flywheel is always spinning when the engine is running. Pull the inspection plate on the bottom and see if you have any marks on the face of the ring gear. If it happens in "Park" you should be able to us a stethoscope to find the noise.
