Seriously though, there is no ad campaign, but since I now have your attention I will fill in the details.

1. Support the tranny and remove the mount. There are four bolts holding the mount to the tube and one holding the mount to the tranny.
2. Remove the mount and look at where it was attached to the tranny. You will find a inch long "pin" on the tranny that "floats" inside a hole on the mount.
3. Carefully (scissors are sharp) cut a piece of 3/8 fuel line about an inch long and slide it over the "pin" on the tranny.
4. Reinstall the mount
5. Drive the truck and be amazed!

It took a whopping ten minutes to make this little modification but the difference is astounding! It removed about half of the buzzing and clanking going on in the Pinz(even more than the EX2 upgrade). Heres why. That little pin on the tranny has so much room to move around that it hits (and sits) directly on the metal part of the mount. It does not seem like much but everytime you touch the gas pedal (or release it) the little pins BANGS into the metal on the mount. The pin under acceleration and deceleration sits against the mount and transfers an amazing ammount of noise thru the truck.
