    Truck is still under warranty so company sent me to the volvo in Las vegas.Manager came out to hear the sound and take a look."We can't see you till monday...." thanks for the help...not.
    why are these volvo dealer shops not open on weekends or 24/7...who knows.
    Got me a bus ticket from Vegas to southern California to spend the weekend with family.
    I'll keep y'all posted on what the issue was.

    The truck is made of plastic. Are all the bolts holding your fairings in place and tight? First thing I did after buying a KW T2000 is take off the fairings covering the fuel tanks and make sure the bolts were in place and tight on the covers to the batteries under the steps on the driver's side and on the secondary air tank on the passenger side. Took care of the rattles and gave me more clearance on rutted dirt roads.

    So I know this is like 2 months ago. They never found out exactly what was causing this strange noise. They replace the rim on the truck and the sound went away. Must of been a defective rim

    Somebody leave a watch or a tool in the tire when they were mounting it?
