OlRedL5P

Did anyone figure out the problem?

I've checked out a few threads on here trying to find a similar noise to what I've been dealing with but either haven't dug deep enough, or haven't found one making the right noise. Started about 3 months ago and periodically gets better than worse again, but notice it the most on hot days. Started with only doing this around 50-55 mph but has since progressed to starting right after it shifts through each gear. No codes, no real changes in driving quality (hot days a little sluggish), more so it's just annoying. The groaning seems to be coming from the passenger side somewhere but I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where. I've had some people throw me ideas such as injectors, torque converter, heat shield vibrations, all sorts of things from all over the truck, so I'm at a loss with even the slightest idea of what it could be. Been running Diesel Kleen through it just about every other fill up and I'd say there is some difference, not enough for me to say it makes it smooth out. Link is a not super great video from a few weeks ago of said sound

Update: I forgot I posted this and just now thought to look. Finally a few weeks ago had time and got the truck on the lift and we tore it apart. There was a small tear in my ball joint, rotor was warped, front passenger side and back driver side wheel bearing were bad, cv axle on passenger side was shot, and all 4 shocks were shot. All have been replaced and it's in much better shape.

I have a 2019 L5P with 72k on it. Bought it last June from a dealership with 51k on it. Few months ago, I tried to go get it aligned at a Big O and was told they couldn't do it because it needed new pitman, idler, and inner tie rods. Got it on the lift few days later and decided pitman and idler were getting replaced, but tie rods didn't seem bad. Bought the parts, took it to a reputable shop, and had them replace them and align it. They scoped out the tie rods and agreed they weren't bad. Fast forward to a week ago, truck is out of alignment again and has slowly been getting worse. I have play in my steering wheel, rides rough, and discovered today that my ball joint on my driver side lower control arm is leaking grease. Once again checked my tie rods and still mechanically appear fine. I won't lie, I do not know all there is to know about these trucks, and I've been learning as I go. With all this being said, I'm looking for any information, any tips, any things to look for, or even common problems that I may need to look out for in the future. I'm on my own trying to figure this all out and the only thing most other shops do around here is treat me like a dumb blonde chick. Last shop I took it to is booked out now for over a month or I'd go back there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
