Cool

Check the bushings that go between the frame and the crossmember that holds the rear end of your torsion bars, under front seat area but sometimes sounds like under front end, my ZR2 had bad bushings.

VERY Funny and sad but true, mine sounds terrible, my Vette sounds so much different.

my front bumper rattles against my fenders on washboard roads. If it isn't one thing, it's always another.

On mine my calipers rattle on the slide bolts. Sounds really bad but it's not a problem. Does your problem go away when you brake?

I have a 2003 Blazer and a 2000 Jimmy and they rattle and squeak like no end. Damn good vehicles if you can take the squeaks and rattles.

My 2003 Blazer LS has a rattle that seems to be coming from behind the dash near the blower motor maybe. Had 2 different mechanics look at it as well as myself pulling everything apart, but just can't seem to find what is causing it. Doesn't seem to be anything important, so just turn up the music and wait for whatever it is to fail

It has been there for almost 2 years now.
