    True dual straight pipes. Custom off road bumpers. Led strobe blue interior lights.
    I have a problem with my dash making all kinds of weird sounds by raddling on bumpy roads and when sitting at stops signs cause my exhaust shakes my truck. Any idea on how to fix it?

    Look up under the dash if its not in the middle and look for loose things. If it is in the middle pull the radio out and look back in there with a light

    My passenger bag did that. Sprayed some heavey duty silicon around all the gaps on the dash, and puff, not more squeeks. Worked on my 02.
    Like above I would check everything you can get a wrench on under the dash. Hard saying what the previous owner did.

    When I take the truck out I live with my dash rattle for the first 150 miles. By that time I'm on dirt roads and I can't hear it. When I get back on the pavement the truck sounds really quiet! :bananadance:

    But the rattle is still there.

    My 02 Tacoma did it only when someone was sitting in the passenger seat. I cut a strip of dense foam material about 1" by 4 " and stuck it between the dash and windshield in front of the passenger seat. I haven't heard the rattle since.
