Haven't even made a single payment on it yet. I went to a buddies house and did the vent mod for our rear diff, on his 2011 pro-4x and my SV 2017. I left his house happy and everything was great. I was pulling into my parents area and there is a little side street that's unpaved, not off roading or anything and this stupid god damn branch/stick was on the ground, I didn't see it but I felt it when it some how wedged itself under the truck. I went about another 5 feet before I finally stopped and got out to look, I saw this damn thing under the car near the passenger front wedged a little by the passenger control arm. I pulled it some and got it free, thinking I was ok the second I started to drive I heard a hallow sound, this is very hard to explain so I'm going to just list everything it has done since this stupid stick.

Rough Idle, i had a glass of water in the truck and it did the jurassic park thing where the water was dancing all over the place.
Hallow loud sound when I give it gas almost like an exhaust leak yet you don't hear it outside of the car at all, only in the cab.
Ticking/clicking/rubbing noise when I let go off the brake either in D or R, only for about a second then goes away.
I went under the truck the best I could at dusk and looked everywhere, I see nothing, I see no damage, I see no stick debris.
I'm honestly sick to my stomach over this. For the life of me WTF could it be, did this stick somehow break a motor mount? then whats the hallow exhaust leak sound, did I maybe break the header off the manifold ? or at least crack it,dent it or something.
I'm obviously going to look tomorrow better, maybe jack it up and really get under there, but not even sure how to proceed, if its damage I should see it. I drove it home about another 20 miles and it does drive fine, center steering wheel, no vibration while driving just sometimes at idle although it might have gone away. tested 4wd and 4low and both engage and work fine.
Dealer will probably rape me if its damage and cost me thousands.
Merry Christmas to me! :frown:
