Dear goodness!
« on: November 09, 2016, 04:09:27 pm »
OK we all know I don't put that many miles on the Dak.  It really has become neglected & ignored over the last few years.  If it wasn't for the stupid ding and dashboard message I'd forget to change the oil. I admit this!

Last week I get in the truck & drive it home ... turn a corner and 'thunk' ..  :scratch: Go over a bump and 'thud'  :argh:

No .. just no... my rear end can't be broken it doesn't even have 50k on it.  Next day when there is sunshine go crawl around.
-nothing loose in the bed
-tailgates closed right
-shock mounts tight
-no slack in drive line
-exhaust is tight: no holes this time

 :censored: not finding anything loose or wiggly when on the ground.

OK maybe I just imagined it.  Nope -- not imagining it. Over the week randomly...VERY randomly.. thunks & thuds and weird scraping sounds coming from the rear passenger side. 

Finally last night I cleaned out the truck -- you do know those bins in the door are trash cans right :lol:


Now who in the  :censored: put a pair of scissors in the back-seat passenger door pocket???  They were juuuuusstt long enough to dig the tip in and kick up then THUD when they slipped free.

No more thunks!  :cho:
