Constant Rattle

I have a 2003 sr5 tacoma and recently when you hit any bump or slight dip in the road there is rattling noise that sounds like a dragging chain on the road or coins vibrating. I have found that it has also increased over time and is coming from under the cab. Any solutions?

 

Hey 764- the only thing I can offer is you're there and have the advantage of climbing under the truck and just poke around at stuff that would obviously make that noise with that particular characteristic. Running board mounts, exhaust shields (HOT) shackle mounts (leafsprings) stuff like that. Take some time. Hope you locate it-let us know

 

definitely get under there and poke around like ridge said.....sounds like maybe an exhaust shroud/heat shield or so. hope you find it quickly man!!

 

If your truck is running roughly, too. It could be your catalytic converter is going or shot. that's what it sounded like when I had a different make truck and my converter went out.
