Thought i needed some front wheel bearings. Turns out the driver side nut was not torqued properly. A bit loose so fixed that right up. Tightened up the rear shock bolts. Now the rear rides nice and quiet.

you're going to be looking for awhile. My '97 is rather quiet inside as far as rattles go, especially for a 275k truck
any idea where it may be coming from? I've had to do the same on my past car and it was tricky.

I had the same problem. would've never found it if it weren't for the spare rim making a rubbing noise. improperly installed cotter pins allowed it to back off.

It is in the rear, funny thing is when I put about 100lbs behind the third row the rattle goes away

have you had someone drive it and you sit in the 2nd row to try to pinpoint it? had to do that before with my buick. turns out it was the rear panel where the speakers sat.
check in the rear hvac or jack storage bin. maybe a door is lose on one of those. or, remove the carpet back there, fold up the 2nd row seat, remove the divider trim, remove the rear door trim and it pulls right out. maybe a penny or something is in there somewhere.

Ball joint ~ ugh
Failed inspection for driver's ball joint. Soooo...took a "balmy" 35 degree day with a bro and took it on. Dear lord. Not as bad as removing the control arms was, but the goof who owned before me (or his/her goof mech) put the sway bar links on upside down...meant no way to punch the bolt free from the sleeve it had frozen to. Soooo... hello sawzall and new link.
The ball joint, steering link, axle bolt and axle half were easy by comparison.
No...I did NOT do the other side. It's supposed to be, like, 7 degrees here the next 2 days. it'll pass now, gud-nuf. Salt sux.
in the pic, I'm on the left. My buddy had his rump up close to the kerosene heater!

I got my 4.88 gears in, rebuilt my rear LS and added a mustang Trac loc to the front. swapped my SC pulley to a 2.5 and adjusted the A/F and speedo. Well not one day but 2 days.

what does it take to rebuild the rear LS. I know mine has the 3.31 ls and I am not sure if it's working.
