Ever since I got my truck on the road one noise in particular has been plagueing me,a weird metallic drumming sound when turning corners.
Yesterday I went on the hunt.
I'd originally removed the original deluxe fresh air heater on account of the core being kaput. I had no reason to suspect anything there as I'd assumed the heater had never been out the truck.
I had a good idea where the noise was coming from but wasn't expecting what I found,after removing the blank and contorting my hand round and down I found 'the rattle', a 12oz beer bottle inside the box section.
As far as I can work out the ONLY way to get that in there was if the heater had been removed and the bottle placed there.
I'm not sure if it's been some kind of prank played in the distant past as when I was younger we would pop a door card at a corner and drop a golf ball inside friends cars doors and it would drive them nuts trying to work out where the noise was coming from so maybe this is just Kharma biting me back!
