Got a wicked rattling noise coming from under the jeep upon acceleration and regular driving. Sounds like its between the engine and rear end somewhere. Started after i washed the underside of the jeep today. Any ideas? Trans? TCase?

See if the tail pipe is close to touching the "frame" rail.

True. I'm forgetting I'm one of the few with a glasspack, puts the tail pipe real close to the frame rail.

Can't wait to replace that exhaust. Soooo tired of the drone at highway speeds. Magnaflow for me please!!!!

Tap splice connectors would probably work just keep the switch off when you do. I dont know how you specifically wired them but best way is to cut connection and test each 1 at a time

Its confusing when you all use your real names lol... I don't know them.

My real name is Daniel, but anyone who knows me (and isn't an elder family member) calls me Diesel... so just call me that.
