the past few days I've noticed a small rattle sound when I started up the 50. I would hop out open the hood and the noise would go away. I would hop back in and the noise would come back.

Was not a major sound, sounded like a small bell or two tubes clanging. I drive my truck to work so Off I would go.


Well this morning I was determined to trace it. Started her up and the little rattle would start. Hop out it stopped. Opened the hood. No sound. I leaned on the drivers fender and a faint ringing would start.

Laid under the truck and couldn't see anything obvious.

checked out the disc brakes...nothing.

then the Snake bit me
