I should add, on a serious note, that replacing the motor mounts on these beasts can really dampen the vibes and make them nicer to drive - if youre teeth are rattling out you might want to check your motor mounts - for some reason I'm thinking the front upper one was the one that would transfer vibration to the body like a madman when it wore out - you can get new mounts for a lot less that 500 bucks and install them yourself.
