Default still running <knocks on wood>...just fixed an annoying rattle
happened when backing up. paul bauer figured it out.

when i bottomed out on a speedbump, it hit the exhaust and pushed it up against the heatshield...which got pushed up closer to the driveshaft. when backing up, the torque moved the diff down and rubbed on the heat shield.

bah.

And chipping is a violation of state and federal emissions laws, thats not a fight you can win.

He says he ran that chip for 4k miles like 20k miles ago. Doubt it was just the chip.
