OK, here's the deal. Two weeks ago at Paragon I had a funny metal banging noise. I couldn't figure it out and even went so far as to go under the truck with a hammer to bang on any and everything to find the problem.

While having the Fabtech recall done I had the guy check for things. When I had an alignment I had that guy check things out, too. Nothing.

I thought it might have been the Hi-Lift shaking, but no. The Hi-lift handle, no. Then I thought the Hi-Lift's foot may have been shaking so I zip-tied it down, but that didn't solve it.

Yes, the tire carrier was secure, but I did check it again just to make sure. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

There was no sound coming from the front and there was nothing felt in the steering wheel or the seat. Just sound.

Lastly, I didn't here the noise driving on pavement unless it was rough. Just like North Carolina highways or speedbumps at the local shopping center.

The problem persisted until this afternoon when I finally figured it out. Can you?

You have until tomorrow night. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Was it your nuts rattling when you realized you couldn't pull the blew-my-transer case-so-can't-wheel-golden-spike trick?
