    Default Shake and Rattle

    Do your levers that shift into 4x4 and hi/low shake and rattle while driving?

    I seem to be noticing it more lately. Is it getting worse or have I just noticed it now?" What would make it worse.

    Mine are pretty tight and don't rattle. Of all the other noises in the truck, they are one I don't hear.

    If I remember correctly, they either have a sleeve, or a shouldered bolt that they pivot on, so if that is worn, or the bolts are loose, that could be part of the problem.

    Sometimes the levers loosen up...you certainly wouldnt be the first for that to happen...that and replacing any worn pieces should end the noise...they might still wiggle a little...like a lot of things do on these trucks at times...

    I will check to see if I can tighten the levers up some. I hope that is it.

    thanks

    Pull the little cover from the floor and tighten it up. Mine needs this done every 500-1000 miles. Mine is not stock however since the fire department "fixed" the mount and I just haven't messed with going back to stock.
