    anyone ever get a delayed thud noise after the truck comes to a stop. Its like stop... and then a second or 2 after you feel a thud. Kinda feels harder depending on how aggressively you brake.

    Couple things. 1- check/retorque u-bolt's. 2nd - where are your bed rail cleats stored? My truck was doing same. did 1st, and still did it. 2nd I took bed rail cleats out of under rear seat storage it, and it stopped.

    Mine does it when the weather cools down. Classic slip yoke needing grease.

    I have the same issue. I think it is related to the fuel tank but not sure. Pay attention to what it does with your fuel level . Let us all know if any difference

    I think I might get that right now but it isn't bad. I figure it's probably the drive shaft.

    In my previous truck it was pretty bad but I think it started around 100k miles. And the order of things that I was going to look at were u joints (replaced)->motor mounts->torque converter

    Didn't know about slip yokes until reading this thread but sounds like it would be one of the first things to check too.

    If I recall correctly, I think replacing the u joints did help and think I read somewhere they weren't serviceable on that truck like it is on the Tacoma? Not sure if servicing it means greasing the slip yoke.
