Problem Fixed!!!

I posted recently about a rattle\grind that seemed to be coming from right underneath the hump in my truck. Well, after a lot of searching it turned out to be the HEAT SHIELD that was barely being held on by rust. The hesitation I'm going to chalk up to bad plugs\wires and will do a tune up over the weekend. Also, replaced all 6 shocks and it doesn't squeak anymore (it still rides a little rough though). Thanks for your suggestions, this sight is extremely helpful.

Hope to start my next project soon making my own cold air intake and installing new exhaust. I'll try to get pic's up soon and will update progress.

Thanks again.

Needed new shocks to pass inspection, the original's were still on there and they were beyond shot, so just to get a sticker I went with cheap ones. They were Monroe Gas-Matics. Not sure if they need to be broken in or if they're cheap for a reason.
