That would work too, theres lots of underbody things that can rattle over time, like mufflers, cats, heat shields, etc. Like 87dakman mentioned about cheap, always go from easiest/cheapest to hradest/expensive, thats the best prob solving method when you rnot sure whats wrong.

I have a 99 3.9 I just had the cat replaced for the same thing. They have to replace any bad cats for free for 8 yrs or 80k it's a EPA regulation. I hear these cats are only good for 20 - 30k anyway.

i ve never had to replace a converter on any of my dak's. they dont idle , and when on the highway they cruise about 120kph on average. i also use a little bit of alchol in the gas as well as the petro-canada gas with the winter stuff in it . i have always noticed how much water the little 3.9 can produce if they sit and idle ,so they dont
