Hey everyone. I am moving from Los Angeles to Northern Idaho, so I ditched the camaro and bought a 99 mazda b4000, because I wanted something reliable that I could take offroading. I love the truck, but I haven't had it for very long, and some problems have come up. I was driving home in 2 WD and got an intense vibration in the cab. I got off the freeway and it stopped. I got back on the freeway and it came back. When I drive in 4WD High it makes weird noises but drives. I specifically hear banging under the front and sometimes rear of the truck. I am very concerned about this because I am moving to idaho in 3 weeks I need to drive 1400 miles up there. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for all the help. The place I bought it from said I can take it to their mechanic, but I don't trust them at all, so I am also going to take it to a guy in town. I updated my sig, although I don't have any cool mods to put on their, yet. Anyone on this forum from Idaho, when I get the thing running right I want to go offroading
Look at your front wheels to see if they have weights on the rims. Its not very uncommon to lose a weight while your driving. I rotated my tires recently and one wheel didn't have a weight and when I hit like 40mph my front end started shaking like crazy.
I looked the my front passenger side tire and it is missing a hub cap. To be honest I don't even know what a wheel weight looks like. I tried to google it but all I found are pictures of wheels. I am taking it to the mechanic of the place where I bought it on wed, hopefully they can diagnose the problem. I really appreciate all your help, and will let you guys know what is up when I found out more.
