found the illness of my truck

[bigd65]

yesterday i jacked up my truck and was just checking things out cause the vibration between 45-60 mph was REALLY irritating me. so anyway, i jacked it up and was checking the tires and yep you guessed it, i flat spotted my tires during the MIS-HAP on Christmas morning. then i still had the clatter underneath. i crawled under it and was banging around on things and i found the cat. converter was what is rattling. its not loose or anything , the insides are rattling. this thing is only about 2-3 years old. i think i am going to pull it off and break out the insides and let it ride till it wont pass inspection, then i will replace it.

also just to give an update on the tranny, i dont know if this thing is suppose to do this but i like it and the tranny guy said that there is nothing wrong with the tranny. when i slow to a stop sign i can feel the truck down-shift, almost as if i am manually down-shifting it. i really like that, i brought it to the tranny guys attention and he said it wont hurt it, so i am not complaining. the tranny feels ALOT stronger than it was the first time, so maybe this incident fixed something anyways.
