    My '05 379 has stared to rattle in the cab wall about where my left ear is. I can feel it when I hold my hand on the wall and I'm driving over a bad bumpy road. Anyone know what is in the wall that would make the rattle?
    It is driving me nuts. I want to drill a small hole in the wall and put some expandable foam in there. Any ideas?

    OK after a few weeks of going nuts I finally found out where the rattle was coming from. It was the muffler bushing at the top of the muffler. New ones (as in two) at the top fixed it.
    Now on to other things.

    I WAS going to say it's standard equipment in a FL...but you had to go and spoil it all by having a Pete...

    Be that way.

    (but I'm glad you found it....rattles and squeaks drive me NUTS!)

    It is an option on a Pete, that you can pay extra for..:biggrin_2559:
    I drove a day cab Pete the other day, and it had that #### squeak, for 950 miles....sheeeesh.:biggrin_25510:

    For once my muffler bearing theory would have made sense here!
