Default Acorns rolling around????

I tried a search and didnt find anything, and didnt know where to post this question. The other day i gave it a lil more throttle from a stop and heard what sounds like ball bearing rolling in my door. When I stopped I opened the passanger door and shook it to find nothing. It definetly sounds like its on the passanger side. A buddy told me to check the cowl? Any thought, experiances or know how whould be great, its annoying as hell. I dont want to pull anything apart more than I have too to find nothing, so please help.

Take the door panel off. A nut or rock or something probably fell through the weatherstrips when the window was rolled down.

Definetly not knock its something rolling around, does it on hardbraking too. Im going to pull the panel off anyways to replace the speakers i blew so ill look for something in there. Anybody ever have anything in the cowl or the heater box? Also thought about the bed liner?

Not much help for you but I once dropped a socket extension inside the fender of my wife's minivan replacing struts. Could not get it out but certainly heard it from time to time. Only had it year after loosing the extension.

Hopefully it's just an acorn, so far I've found a handful of unfired 9mm & .22 bullets rolling around in the '04 GMC I bought a few weeks ago. One of the door panels had a bunch of deer corn in it too, lol.

Buy a used truck...get free ammo!

i had something similar to this. mine sounded like a gurgling noise coming from the glovebox. not sure if this is the same thing you have, but i believe i made a post about this sound years ago and someone said that it has to do with the coolant circulating around. it only made the sound from a stop.

do you have a TC by chance? kind of off topic
