At speeds above 50+ the rear end constantly rumbles and shakes the whole truck. And when pressing the break it does as well. Seat belt locks when trying to put it on. Parking brake doesn't work. Whining and squeaky noise in the rear end. Clunking noise at lower speeds. Engine light is on & won't go off. Tire pressure sensor doesn't work. Rear end seal leak. Driver side window feels like it's gonna fall out. Truck is way too loud and everything is stock. Ac/heat being on makes loud noise.
