blnagel 07-09-2004, 02:44 PM I have noticed a wierd sound at times in the back end of the box. Any ideas out there? My friend with 2004 Dmax has same issue. Had a 2002 gasser 6.0 with the same sound too. What is it? Happens at different times with different degrees of bumps. :( Help.

I know you don't want them up front where the action is, but sometimes they have a definite "whine" when you make them sit in the back!! LOL blnagel 07-09-2004, 06:30 PM Ouch Chevysrus. Yes I did and she doesnt know half the mods of my toys, which is a good thing. I do have a good wife though and dont have to put up with much guff. Any ideas about this noise?

That's the most common noise complaint reason. motovet 07-11-2004, 06:48 PM If the bushings are fine then check your nerf bars if you have them. If they are loose or not properly installed they will make a racket when the body flexes. Check those bushings first though. TraceF 07-12-2004, 07:22 AM I chased what I initially thought was the infamous "steering clunk" for 2 months before a dealer took my truck and kept it for a couple days. He drove it cold, hot, wet it with a hose underneath, etc and finally they decided it was the leaf springs just moving around. The noise happened almost exclusively at very slow speed on irregular terrain. They pulled the springs out and seperated the leafs, cleaned and lubed them, reassembled and reinstalled, and the noise was gone. I was not missing any of the isolators. May be your problem too http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Smile.gif blnagel 07-22-2004, 05:34 PM It is the buushings. All 4 are gone. Thanks everyone. I just got around to looking. Will replace tomorrow. Ben http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif | ||
