Is undercarriage of Gen14 similar to Gen 13?

Troubleshooting a rattle that sounds like the same as this thread. How similar/different are these crossmember pipes/layouts + exhaust shields between Gen13 and Gen14?

You have a power boost which has a different stuff underneath that was never on a gen13. At first glance the trucks look similar but it is different. If you have a rattle, I would check the heat shields to see if there's anything loose. Is the rattle there when you idle or only underway?

Thanks. It's only in low gears/speed (1-5/up to 30 mph), while accelerating, but only when accelerating lightly. And more typically before the car/engine warms up. The dealer said they checked the heat shields but didn't see anything loose, but that other forum's thread made me think I should check for a missing clamp, esp. since the sound seems like it's coming from behind the passenger front wheel.

I know the skid plates mounting points are the same. I can attest because I had installed gen 13 compatible skid plates to gen 14 truck.

Thanks. If it helpful, I posted a video of the undercarriage here.
