#6 of 10 rattling - heat shield strap/bracket by mrnoggins May 01, 2007 (9:07 am)
Our '99 S-10 (4wd manual) has a wicked rattle that has been narrowed down to a missing strap/bracket from the heat shield. With only 1 of 2 straps in place... it rattles like a German tank.   On another note, we just sold our '88 (2wd manual) a week ago with 303K on it. Regular oil changes and minor parts replaced over the years; nothing bigger than the water pump in 7 years. We live in a city that has emissions testing and the truck passed easily each year. I've met 2 people with the same vintage s-10 with over 400K on the odometer. Great little trucks! (Expect more KM out of yours panache.)   (The only reason we sold was the screaming deal we got on a pretty blue '94 s-10 with low-low kms!)

I have a loud rattle in the center of my 2002 Chevy S10 ZR2. It is very loud and sounds like cards in the spokes of a bike. It is constant and only quiet when the vehicle is in neutral. What is it and how do i fix it....cost? Any help would be great. Replies to this message: sharpspur (Mar 20, 2007 10:13 pm) hoodlatch (Mar 21, 2007 3:49 am)

Replying to: bubbagravy (Mar 05, 2007 6:26 pm) I own a 1999 S10 and it rattles very loudly at idle and below 10mph. I found the catalytic converter to be the cause. More specifically, the internals of the converter were "rattling" around inside of it causing the noise.

Replying to: bubbagravy (Mar 05, 2007 6:26 pm) Sometimes the catylitic converter's heat shield becomes loose when the spot welds fail. When this happens it creates a terrible racket.
