What does, “…while running” mean? Does it mean: while the truck is being driven? Or, do you mean: while the engine is running, but, the truck is stationary?  
Have you opened the hood, and listened?

while being driven. no car noise when stationary. may i also add, i had 2 mechanics check it…one said problem is motor mount but the car doesn’t hop nor vibrate and the other one said struts but if you shake the car, no noise heard. so i don’t know what the problem is. pls help.
