KAC1023 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 On my way home from work today going like like 70sh on 287 and there was traffic ahead, I slowed down normally, nothing crazy. When I go to like 30-20mph I heard a light clunking under the truck? I had the windows rolled up, so I was thinking (hoping) it was just the tractor trailer next to me, his trailer brakes. when I took back off I heard it again. When I got home I blocked the front tire and crawled under to check the U joints, they are fine (front and rear). I rotated the driveshaft and there was some play in the rear, maybe like 1/8 of a turn, when I put the truck from R (reverse) to D (drive) you can hear that "clunk". I been working 7 days a week 10 hour days so I need the truck to get to and from, but I got the wifes car if the truck goes down. Is there something else I can check? Thanks Sss members. -Paul Greenwich, CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 My truck has been doing that since new. It's not the U-Joints, it's slop in the pinion & ring gear & differentials. The noise can also be slack in the transfer case chain. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
