The rattle you are hearing is most likely the injector chatter that
Rob and I were discussing at the end of last week. It's simply a
noise that's inherent to the returnless multi port injection system
that the '97s are fitted with. I'm considering something along the
lines of Dynamat for my floorboard although the longer I drive the
truck the less I seem to notice it. Just getting used to it I guess.

Do the *stock* 318's have a propensity to ping (detonate/pre-ignition
what have you)? I test drove a '97 318 Dakota and it was lightly
rattling pretty much the whole time. Whats up? Is it necessary to
run premium to do away with it?<snip>
One last thing ... you guys with the mostly stock 318/auto's ... what
kind of MPG do you realistically get?
TIA,
Matt
