Some help for a new driver.
A couple weeks ago i bought my '98 1500 with a V6 Magnum in it. When i bought it it would not run so my dad and i brought it home on a trailer (which was interesting in itself because he as a Dakota) and put a new fuel pump in it. Now it runs like a champ, but still feels alittle weak. It drives really smooth though which is a plus. When i get up to speed and give it some gas it makes a rattling noise that kinda scares me. it sounds like its right under the truck...any thoughts? I think i can get it running a bit stronger with a good tune up, so if anyone has some suggestions to what i should do that would be great!

I had a 96 blazer with a 4.3l in it and the honey comb was loose and that stupid thing would rattle as soon as I started it up. When I hit the gas it just got worse. Im not for certian but its a start. You unbolt it from the manifolds and rest of piping and take it down and shake it to see. Or start it up and take a long screw driver and put it on the converter and put the handle tip to your ear should be able to hear it. Also im not sure if yours has a heat sheild on the converter but check that if its loose, if you have one
