I just put in the 5th SS line from Earl's and bled the brakes with the ATE super blue fluid. The pedal feel is noticeably tighter
Can't tell if it stops shorter than before. Feels like it..could be all in my head of course.

It's a domestic vehicle...they pretty much all rattle. Sound deadening helps a lot as does a simple vapor barrier.
Isolate the rattles and be rid of them. My Z doesn't rattle too much (maybe b/c it's an LT?)...unless I have the tunes up loud.

Re-torque chassis hardware.
I first re-torqued all my chassis hardware at about 25K and was surprised at how many bolts, nuts, etc. weren't to proper torque. I do it now about every 25-30 K as regular maintenance. Might want to give that a try. Can't hurt.

It's all the damn plastic they use, my old truck rattled all the time, I just covered it up with the exhaust noise. My new truck actually feels like it was made btter but it only has 4k on so we will see.

Most of the rattles in mine have been junk under the rear seat. I do put mine on the rack now and then to check. My stepbars will rattle if loose.Any other rattles are covered by loud exhaust. It aughta rattle like a trolly the way I work it.Our Dodge sure does.
