Bed bolts? I noticed on mine my far rear one is missing even tho there is another bolt a foot from it my bed will rattle on bigger bumps I cant hear it with my windows up.

 

I think I looked at them before, but it can't hurt to look again... My bed seems like its pretty solid but it only takes one bolt to make a rattle. I'll try and look at them later.

It sucks, my truck is in great shape, but rattles like a bucket of bolts.

 

take the tailgate off and spare tire out and see if you can still hear it. rocks in the frame? i know mud and crap can get plasterd on the backside of the taillight...? i dunno.

 

The spare tire was one of the first things I ever checked. I had to use the spare once when I destroyed my rims and it still rattled. The tailgate doesn't rattle at all. I think the bed bolts is the most likely scenario right now, but I'm not sure. I'm going to look at it later or maybe tomorrow.

 

Its like a chevy all of the chevys I have ever ridden in they all creek and rattle idk y

 

i had a brain fart the first time i read this, there is a tube or a bar that is mounted behind the rear bumper, under the tailgate. i do beleive the only way to get to it is to take the bumper off. it is mounted on rubber mounts, i think it is there to absorb vibrations, idk. my rubber mounts dry rotted and that bar was rattling away on everything back there. take a look at that and keep us posted.

 

That's just what I was thinking of. Yeah that thing is very well hidden. I just happend to notice it by chance a few years ago when I had my tailgate off.

 

i use to chamge my bumper out 2x a week for car shows, i havent done that in 2 years so it slipped my mind, but man that thing made a hell of a noise before i took it off.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll look tomorrow.

 

The bolts that hold my caliper on was stripped out and it made an awful noise until I fixed it. Maybe you could try that.
