I have 2004 GMC Safari Van. I am hearing a loud rattling noise under the van. Someone is telling me that it is a
heat shield and others are telling me that it's my
catalytic converter going. I do I find out which one is causing this noise. Please help me. Thank you. Charlie

I have a 1995 van that has given me 2 different problems like this. Is your noise coming from just about the passenger door area under the van? Does it do it worse when the vehicle is cold? If this is your symptoms then it is the cone inside your Cataltic converter. I'm just letting mine rattle until I have $350 I don't know what to do with. If the noise is coming from more of the rear of the vehicle then there is a heat shield on mine that was held in by little plastic rivits that had broke and let it fall down and bounce off the tail pipe. I simply put a small #4 bolt in this to fix it.
