So we noticed Neo's truck was being extra squeaky today. :D When we got back to the house we were able to isolate the noise. The bolt where the back of the tranny attaches to the crossmember was loose. :eek:

So I get under mine to look at it and check the bolts on the skids, UCP, etc. I noticed one of the bolts for the front driveline where it attaches to the t-case was backed almost all the way out. :eek: I checked the other three and they were all loose. :mad:

So we both tightened everything up. I checked Bebe's truck and nothing was loose, and we'll check the others in the morning.

Just a heads-up for those of you that are out banging these things around.

The washboard in Death Valley rattled 2 skid plate bolts loose. I'm glad I heard them rattling around.

With these new rigs I recommend getting out the torque wrench and going over the vital area. I found others that were loose.

While you're checking your bolts, you might want to check the nutz too. Hahaha

I had a two bolts missing and had to replace them. One guy had his skid plat fall off on the hi-way. This was last year I believe.
