BobBop Bop noise in My GQ

Not hard all GQ's do it.

Where the floor pan meets the fire wall the floor cracks, the welds die in the arse. and then between firewall and seat the floor buckles... clunking banging rumbling, creaking, moaning etc..

Only other thing it can be which I found out a while ago, the body mount rubbers wear out! but to replace teh complete set is around $250-300. And the only way to tell if they are gone is to replace them... Not a hard job, but while at it put a body lift in! You got all the mounts apart to do the rubbers!

My Brother has a GQ Patrol, which makes a simalar noise. We thought it was the passenger side front lower shock mount, but he replaced the shocks and rubbers with newbies, and the noise is still there. From wat we have been told, it is a common noise for a patrol, and could be aggrevated by a lift. He's had the truck for 2 years, and it has been supremely reliable, so i wouldnt worry about the noise from that point of view. If it really bothers you, take it to a suspension specialist, but from experience, they won't find anything. All in all, they are very tuff trucks, so dont let the little noise hold you back, treat it mean, cause they love it!!!!!
Hope this has eased your mind. Tristjo.

Craig,

I had the same problem about a year ago. I found that it was the heat protection plate above the muffler. The bracket that holds it to the floor pan broke and when you go over some bumps, the plate bounces up and hits the floor on the passenger's side.
Sometimes it's not the monstrous problems that you dread, like floors cracking, car falling apart, etc. Maybe Truckster just owns a dud, cause he's always quoting the worst senarios.
