Angry Valve Rattle

I have the normal cummins valve rattle. but when I let off the throttle it is a really loud rattling. you can hear it over the radio its always when the rpm's are dropping AND WHEN THE RUCK IDLES AFTER ITS WARM. the noise is comeing from the valves.The dodge dealer tryed to tell me that " that the way it was made". well there not a dodge dealer anymore. I am ready to send this truck down the road. what do you guys think?
