I have FRPP ceramic coated shorty headers, Magnaflow catted X-Pipe and Magnaflow mufflers. I also have a multitude of other bolt-ons. Anytime the OEM parts are removed and aftermarket parts are installed, a few minor squeeks and rattles are bound to show up. This has been the case with my vehicle. I have also had the Skipper 1000 head unit replaced 3 times and figured they had left something loose. I actually don't even notice or listen for them anymore and they don't bother me because the vehicle is such a pleasure to drive.

If most of you are like me, the Performance Forum is our primary source of information. I very seldom read the Issues section. However, this time it paid off. I found TSB 06-4-1 which I had never read before. It describes unexplained noises and rattles coming from the shifter/center stack area. I suggest all read this TSB and for the cost of 2 hose clamps ($3.00) it can't hurt. In my case it resolved a noise which I could not pin point.

I added the clamps this weekend, it took a trip to the harware store, 15 mins, and 3 dollars to fix. That pesky rattle is no more! Thanks so much for posting the TSB, that rattle was driving me crazy.

Wow, I had just started getting a rattle about a month ago, exactly as they explain it. I couldn't pin point it, sounded like it was coming from the center stack, heater vents or the IUP alluminum pannels. I had my girlfriend push on various points to see if it would go away to try and isolate the source with no luck. Gonna try this out, if I can figgure out how to stuff myself under the car, don't think my girlfriend will ablige me there. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, this TSB is not getting the attention it deserves. This TSB will resolve most rattle complaints I have been reading about. Sure wish more people would read and perform this simple operation. Too bad there is no way we could make more people aware of this TSB.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe it can be made a seperate sticky. I guess if it annoys people enough, they will come looking for it, I know I did.
