i got up under my jeep 20 times before i found the problem. had to start bangin around with a rubber malet. thats when I found the problem. the spot where the pipes go from 2 to 1 pipe, one pipe fits in the other pipe and the clamp around it just wasnt tight enough.

my rattle sounds like it is right under me. it occurs when i'm bogged down....like when i start out in 2nd but should have started out in first... or cruising slowly in a parking lot in 2nd.
i had my jeep at the dealership for another minor repair (under warranty) and described my problem. here's a good one: they said it was the shift knob that was rattling, and they replaced it.
yeah.... THAT helped. it was free under warranty, so i took the new knob... but wtf. that place is useless.

I had to get under the jeep and have the wife rev it till I found it. (on a day she wasn't pissed at me) It was the front heat sheil on the drivers side end. I bought a big hose clamp put it around the shild and pipes..tightened her down and no more noise.....

My front heat shield came loose and it took weeks to figure it out. The dam dealer at 22 and pantano told me it was my fault because I changed the muffler I had to get under the jeep and have the wife rev it till I found it. (on a day she wasn't pissed at me) It was the front heat sheil on the drivers side end. I bought a big hose clamp put it around the shild and pipes..tightened her down and no more noise.....

It was a hair-line crack in the weld holding the heat-shield to an exhaust pipe. I couldn't believe a barley noticeable crack could make so much noise. Clamped it down,,, noise gone!

No Sh%t, I though something was wrong with my tranny. One itty bitty weld on the cross over pipe heat shield. Screwdriver fixed it.
