Default NOISE

While driving down the road, i hear a sound like i am draging cardboard box. Would an automatic transmission make a noise like that. Going 30 mph you can put tran in neutral and still hear the noise.

Any clues.

Thanks

Start out by telling us what you are driving??? If it is XJ or Grand like it says on your profile. If it is a GC you need to post in the GC section since this is the XJ section. You might get a better response in there. Good Luck!

Check underneath for dead animals or a stick dragging the pavement.

Ruckus is one of my favorite words.
