does it do it in park? Or just in drive?

Just when driving when I get on the gas I can hear it in the cab

Try laying a small child on a skateboard, and have them hold on to the bottom of the truck as you take it around the block. ProTip: Strap a GoPro to them (so you can find the vibration source), but keep the audio muted so you don't ruin your concentration with needless screaming.

Or you can check the heat shield and exhaust hangers (even if they aren't loose, make sure they arent touching anything).

Does it happen when you are in Park? Are you sure it's not some kind of wheel bearing issue or the like?

hahahaha! Nice method

Could be loose heat shield or an exhaust hanger. The rubber on them wears out and breaks eventually.

If it's a exhauts leak u can ( while at idle ) grab a handful of rags and hold them to the tail
Pipe to increase back pressure.. This will make the leak louder and easier to find
