NO!!!!! blown shock i think we're on the wrong track, my 2001 with 22000 on it did it for the first time this weekend at 80 mph on a section of interstate with rough concrete sections. that got it going, i believe the left rear wheel was hopping totally off the road, i thought i was going to...

DASH SQUEAK! THANKS ALOT DIESEL GUNNAR, THOSE ARE INTERESTING POINTS, I WILL LOOK UNDER THE DASH ALSO TO SEE WHAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TRIMMED, IT MUST RUB ON THE STEERING COLUMN, IT DOES SOUND LIKE A PLASTIC TO PLASTIC SQUEAK TO ME. JOHN

Like an idiot, i crunched the top of my tailgate that i had in the down position while backing my boat trailer, backed up too short and the winch nailed the top of the gate. Do any of you have any suggestions as where i could buy a used one or a new one at a fair price? I don't want it...
