5-10 seconds



anybody have a clue ???

sounds like a u-joint to me... maybe a carrier bearing on the two piece drive shaft...

does it do it in 2X4 mode or just 4x4... if just 4x4 check front shaft , but look at all of them

also there have been issues with the snap ring at the back of the tail shaft out of the xfer case... look there also



FYI... . fill in your info on your truck in the sig line or post it when you ask for help. .

I would check the CV joint in the front drive shaft. It could have excessive wear, causing the clunk. It could also be a front U-Joint, but it would do this in both 2wd and 4wd. Is the clunk comming from when you turn the wheel? It could be a ball joint going bad.
