Got any codes for your cat?

I bet the cat has broken, and the pieces are in the muffler. Explains the sulfur smell

All can be caused by a bad cat

Default Sounds like an easy fix?

I thought it could.be a rear end problem.

Any check engine lights?

The rear end shake could be a different problem, but let's narrow down if you got a bad cat or not

Default Check engine light is on.

Yes ,the check engine light is on. Put it on a micro mechanic. It's junk.

Default Thank you for your help.

I have had owned another blazer that had the same rattle. But it had no performance issues. Of course I had that one fixed as soon as I heard the rattle.
I let this rattle go for about a 1000 miles. I'm taking to my cheap exhaust mechanic first thing Friday. I really hope it's the catylitic converter that's causing these issues.

Default Thanks for your help.

Would I do any damage to "the blazer"
If I drove her to AutoZone with a busted cat.
