Newguy question after a testdirve tonight...
Everything sounded fine at the beginning of the test drive, but after we had driven a little, I noticed a weird sloshing water noise when I would step on the brakes. It sounded like water was rushing toward the front of the truck. Then when you hit the gas to take off, it sounded like all the water was rushing to the rear of the truck.
I was able to duplicate the noise in the lot, driving a short distance in reverse and hitting the brakes made the "water" go back, and hitting the brakes when going forward made it slosh forward. It sounded like there was water in the roof above the door on the DS. I rolled the window down and couldn't hear anything. Wife couldn't hear anything from outside the car, but it was very noticeable from inside with the windows up. I did a search, but I didn't get much. We had a heck of a storm blow through P-town today, so maybe the sunroof drains?? None of the posts I've read say what that sounds like.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on this truck ~ 1995 w/ lockers, 165,000 mi, ARB Bumper, OME lift, new Toyo ATs, Borla Exhaust, engine so clean you could have a picnic on it, blah, blah, blah. No visible water damage inside, but I need help figuring this out before somebody else does and buys the thing. I'm guessing it'll go in the $11-12K range. Suggestions?
