I had to do the same a couple of more times before I checked the rear-view mirror and saw the truck back there.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You're driving along with the sunroof and windows open, come to a stop light and hear the most god-awful rattling and clattering sounds.
Your heart jumps as you think this must be the dreaded IMS bearing failure - but then you realize it's the radiator fan of the American Melmoth behind you hitting something in
his
engine compartment! (It was a Caprice Classic Wagon, actually.)
Damn hunks of junk on the road! No better excuse to accelerate briskly and make sure he's not behind me at the next light...
Yup, this happens to me regularly! Usually, there is some old truck or van behind or next to me, and as soon as I hit the gas, he does the same, and I wonder what could be wrong with my car!
Yup. Just happened to me this morning on the way into the office. A delivery truck was the 2nd car behind me and I had the sunroof open. Heard a clatter that didn't sound right so I blipped the throttle a bit to see if it was coming from my car and it sounded like the frequency increased. I had to do the same a couple of more times before I checked the rear-view mirror and saw the truck back there.
I don't normally worry about anything going wrong but any new noise is always suspect.
took me a couple of light to realize that the awful brake squeal isn't mine the other day... was coming from a civic who insisted on driving in my drivers side blind spot...
And to think I was going to post about driving my Caprice Classic Wagon to work this morning and the guy ahead of me in his 996 that kept speeding away from the stoplight.
I like it when I look in the rear view with the sunroof open and see my headliner doing the cha cha. You would think they got the aerodynamic thing figured out by now. Or 6 years ago?
Valve clicking gets me wondering if its my cars sounds reflecting off the car next to me or the other car. One car was so bad behind me when I move forward the noise lowered lowered so I thought it was a reflection of my cars noise but it was a thrashed car behind me I got further away from.
+1 - and it is just as bad with Cabs! I was recently driving the Speedster on a divided highway and was slowing down for a red light in the fast lane. I began to hear a loud grinding noise reflecting off the concrete barrier in the center median and my heart sunk - wheel bearing? sticking brake pad? I actually started to get pissed off as my Speedster is almost perfect... That red light felt like an hour as I thought through the possibilities and began to actually sweat. When it turned green, I hesistated before starting off the line and wouldn't you know it - the noise was coming from a bearing on some POS 1980s Cherokee in the center lane...
Glad to see I can come to my Rennlist support group for this affliction!
