Jingling from rear end...wtf???

wassup guys im trying to figure out wtf keeps jingling when i hit bumps. it sounds like a bell ringing when i go over even the smallest of bumps. i took my spare and spare winch thingy out and its still doing it. not comming from the shocks, and sounds like its comming from the drivers side drum. any ideas on what it could be? it drives me nuts and is kinda embarassing lol

I have the same thing. Truck would be tight if not for that. I have been under there moving everything I can. can't find anything like it.

I had a bird squeak that turned into a rattle. Turns out it was my heat shield under the passenger side floor of the cab (above the exhaust). The two pop rivets had rusted off and the two pieces of the heat shield were rubbing together and then clanging together.

Not saying that's your problem, but you'll have to get under thew truck and have someone jump on the rear bumper or slam your doors a few times while you search for it.

I am going to check mine. That rattle sounds like it. If not, I'll find a volunteer. Thanks.
