SSenvy Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well, driving to the dump today, i was listenin to my IPOD while driving, and kept feeling a pop kinda feeling, in the floorboards/ gas pedal.... i thought, ehh its prolly just the roads.. kept driving. On My way home from the dump, it got worse, i took off My ipod and sounds like its coming from driver side front end... Its kinda random, but it feels like a PING/pop sound, like somethings giving way. It sounds like metal too metal. Found it a bit odd, a couple times, when i would come to a stop, my antiblock brakes were coming on.... when i had plenty of dry road traction, slowly coming to a stop. I thought it might be my brakes? I pulled my front tires off, and everything looks fine? The PING/POP sound feel, is bad enough i dont wanna drive it. ANy idea what it might be? Thanks..

kevinthegreat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you're awd you should check your cv axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yeah, was thinking CV axles aswell, but the boots look fine... not sure what that means though hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinthegreat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Could be wheel bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Yeah, but wouldnt my steering wheel be shimmying if i had a bad wheel bearing? Hoping somebodywho had a bad CV Axle, or wheel bearing can chime in, with the symptoms Edited May 8, 2012 by Quicksilvers (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinthegreat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 It sounds like a cv axle to me. I just had to replace mine because of similar symptoms. I had a busted boot on one of them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Having it towed in the morning, will let ya guys know what it is.... for future reference with people having similiar symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 My guess is that it is something suspension related like a ball joint, let us know what they find..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Alright, truck was fixed today, was Front left wheel bearing, and my ABS sensor got fubared up in the process, so that was the reason my anti locks were coming on for no reason when stopping. Thanks for those who helped with ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for those who helped with ideas. Great. That should have rang a bell because the sensor for abs is with the wheel bearing. I just replaced mine also and noticed that the sensor was built in. At least you got it fixed. Lot of wheel bearing problems around here lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah, thinkin wheel bearings are pretty common issue with these trucks. Oh well, these trucks are money pits, but wouldnt trade this truck for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 True that. Mine went out on the passenger side about 250miles from home and it shook like a beatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
