I did a search, and I found some posts regarding Rams and 3rd gen Daks, but no 2nd gens.

I have a rattle that sounds like it's coming from behind the radio near the defrost. It seems to be louder the past few days which coincides with the first real temperature drop of the winter up here. This also coincides with me replacing my Eagle LS's with BFG's (much stiffer.)

Is there something that commonly loosens up?

 

I don't know if you have found this site yet,

http://www.dakota-truck.net/


but they have some user feedback on BSR (buzz squeaks and rattles) issues along with links to tons of good data on the Dakota's and a really cool tire/wheel calculator.
