On very cold days (below freezing) my tach cable or speedo cable (? Do we have one?) makes a turning noise... That may be related to it??

I think the early 95's were the only ones with a cable.

Yeah, my 95 has a speedo cable but the tac is electronic. Under hard pulls I get some vibrations from the dash area. I guess I need to look into this sometime...

Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about. On mine it seems to come from the left hand side of the cluster, or perhaps as low as the area under the steering column. It's worse on right curves than on left curves. And no, it's not a wheel bearing I haven't been able to track it down; let me know if you do.

I get the same thing from my dash. Sounds like plastic rattling, not to bad. Just a little annoying when the radio isn't on. Sorry I haven't been able to solve this problem either.

it kind of sounds like there is a bunch of air coming through the gauge area but i cant pinpoint it. someone once said something about if i had to big of a hole where my stereo was wired but i dont think that is it.
