    Hadn't thought of the gopro... only problem is I need a way to mount it such that it has the widest field of view, it's not going to capture much unless I can get it further away from the chassis. I'll figure something out.

    Not the heat shield, it's something else. I have a GoPro, will try to get some recordings this weekend.

    So, it was a break in the exhaust pipe leading to the passenger side catalytic converter. Must have been on the upper side because me, Jo, and others had looked under there and not seen it. It finally sheared at 80MPH on the freeway, leaving my wife to scramble to the next exit while the truck made horrible noises. A tow and a weld later, sounding better than it has for years.

    same with mine - rattling heat shield - it was hard to replicate from under the vehicle when stopped tho
