I don't know about the idler/pitman situation. There are three (that I know of) that had the problem show up in the last week.
I recieved my truck back from the dealer yesterday and they replaced the idler and pitman arms under warranty no questions. The tech said that this is common on any truck that is wheeled much.
They didn't have time to get to the rattle unless I left it longer and they thought it could be the supension components that they replaced. I needed the truck back so I told them that if it contiues to rattle I will bring it back at the next oil change.
It is still rattling . Have they fixed this with yours?
Thanks,

Friday afternoon they still had to put it back together, adjust the ride height and then do the alignment. I still don't know the end results yet.
It's the first TSB Klaus posted. I picked it up and was driving down the highway and the noise was worse, so I turned around and went back. The tech and I then rode down the street and he heard again. We get back and he shows me what it is. On the driver's side there is inner sheet metal and outer sheet metal making up the fender where the battery is. The TSB says to dimple the inner fender and he did that but it made it worse. There is a hole on the outer panel that he also had to "dimple".
Replaced the right one, set the ride height and re-aligned it. Now both bolts are roughly the same. Tech said that before it seemed my front was sitting lower than it should be so he had the bolts adjusted a little higher so that it is more even front to back (no rake).
