Rattle in 2004 Aerotec V

[hogjowl]

It is driving me nuts! It sounds like it is coming from right behind my back while in the drives seat. Usually only happens when the transmission is in drive and my foot is on the brake, but sometimes happens even while moving down the road. I've checked under the seat, but it seems to be coming from the latching mechanism under the cab. I have tried popping the cab up and putting small patches of cloth on the latches, but that hasn't helped.

Surely SOMEONE else who has an older model V has had the same problem. Anyone?

My radio went out on me about halfway across Arizona.

The Isuzu's do that too.

It sounds like metal from the backside of the seat hitting the cab, but there is nothing there. ???

I gave up looking for the cause, but if I do find out what it is Marty,.................................you can count one me not telling you!

marty check to see if you have the the rubber mounts on the sides of the both of the cab latches( latches are the two upside down hook things that secure the cab). you shound have two rubber peices, one on each side of each of the latches.

Michael, it sounds more like metal to metal. It reminds me of the sounds coils make in a dehumidifier as the shake against the frame.

If you pull the radio there is a fuse on the back of it....Jon shorted out some things on the truck and it took out the radio and I replaced it before I drove it back from MN....

You probably got something loose under the seat......

or the loose nut sitting on the seat...one or the other

[Jim Martin]

please tell me that you do realize that the arm has to be pushed all the way in to LOCK the cab down......

I can just see you driving around with the cab bouncing because all that it holding it from tipping forward is the safety catch.......... :shock:

Just bungie cord your pointed ears to your curly tail and it will stop.

This will take more than a screwdriver to repair, so you are SOL....

I'd suggest you buy some earplugs.....and I'm betting a cheap **** like you will save a few pennies and buy used ones.
