Ok, been wanting to ask this question for a while,
My Sierra is a pretty clean, no rust, well looked after 1995 model.
Now my issue is, anytime i hit a serries of bumps in the road i get a deafining chorus of rattles. Not rattles you can put up with (cause i would if i could)
I've emtpied the glove box, tightened the seat mounts, air the tyres down and the rattles are huge. Sounds like the Dash is about to rattle apart every dodgey road I drive on.
Is that just the beauty of owning a sierra?

i think so, my ride became quieter and nicer with a small suspension lift and bigger tyres.

is that an ex-biker trick, you'd have to feel 1000% better/fresher?

Mine rattles on the flat road...
I have this rattle that appears to be coming from the top passenger side of the windscreen, I thought I had it fixed for a while but it came back...
