Don't really know where this should be asked, however, I have a problem with when I'm taking off from a stop in first gear, once in a while, when I get a rough start, something in the back rattles like CRAZY. Anyone know what it is/could be?

Check everything from trans tailshaft back. Open your rear diff and inspect the gears. It could be nothing - just a little wheel hop, or, it could be chewed up rear end gears and/or improperly aligned pinion, broken torque-arm, etc.

ck. your trac brace/panhard bar . it runs from pass. side of rear axle to drivers side of uni-body . it should be held on by 3 bolts . makes a nasty noise when bolts fall out . i know firsthand . good luck .

check the easy stuff first, like the licence plate holder or the spare tire/jack.

Do you get a small vibration at highway speeds? It could be the ujoint. See if there's any play in them.
