Exit 32, Did the C-Clap solve the problem???
Since installing the C-clamp and stiffening on the rear edge of the heat shield, I've been listening intently every time I drive my Explorer. I still have some noise, but I believe it has diminished. Bottom line is that the results of adding the C-clamp are inconclusive.
I plan to continue experimenting with that large heat shield. One thought is to loosen the fasteners that attach the heat shield to the underbody and see if physically decoupling the shield from the body eliminates the noise.
