THAT'S what that is!?!?!? OK, here's the deal, ever since summer hit and I have been driving windows down, I have meen noticing this sound when I hit small bumps at slow speed. It sounds like jeep soft top stays rattling.
  I figured it was bad shocks (83K on the originals) so a couple of weekends ago, I replaced them all around. The hardest one was the passenger side rear, and trying to get a wrench on the top bolt. I ended up snaking my itty bitty 3/8 impact up BETWEEN the heat shield and the bed...
  Anyway, that wasn't the problem. My truck still squeeks. I have been up under it and looked and pounded, nothing moves, nothing rattles when the truck is stationary. My exhaust is tight, all of the heat shields are functional, and it dosen't move enough to make contact with anything. Could this rattle be bushings? Does anyone else have a suggestion?
