Hi everyone- So some background- My exhaust pipe kind of wiggles a bit and when I hit bigger bumps you can hear it clang against the body or something. Anyway, yesterday I noticed a noise that sounds either like the exhaust pipe vibrating against the body or, more closely, a fan blade spinning that is hitting like a rock or something; a metal ticking/clanging noise. It happens only when i pass through around 33-35 mph or going 35-33 mph, so it isn't contingent on acceleration just the speed, which made me think it might be something like resonating at that speed. Also, a few months ago I had a near costly experience with the transmission in which one of the lines for transmission fluid was severed and leaked all the fluid and the idler pulley also happened to shear off. Thankfully I noticed it pretty quickly and pulled off the highway and it was fixed with supposedly no permanent damage. Anyway, any ideas what the noise might be?
Thanks

My 98 did that. It turned out that the factory muffler had rusted out where the tailpipe was welded on.
Just crawl under the rig and wiggle stuff around until you see where it wiggles at.
