I just did a cheap fix on my 1997 dodge ram, There is plate that keeps the heat away from the spare tire, And it started rattling for some reason. What I did is i took a metal Coat hanger, cut it, And twisted it on like a bread tie, the rattling has stopped, but can anything wrong Happen from this?

@theonlyman9319 na, just a heat shield, really, most are gone when that old anyway.

hey scotty you got any tips on cleaning mufflers? mines got corrosion and i don't know how to make them shiny again

[scottykilmer]

@shadow1up they're super hot and get wet and corrode. Really they just get dirty. You can try any type of metal polish if you want to go that far though.

@scottykilmer so they wont fall apart if you don't clean them?

[scottykilmer]

@shadow1up No, they all get dirty, unless they are stainless steel ones.

@diszkidwaszheresz you either patch the leak with welding, or replace the muffler.
