She might. She’s not far away and she did always follow me and come right to the door when she was ready to go inside. Honestly though it’s kind of a relief not having her. She tore up everything



It’s kinda cute at first but man it gets old quick. She even got the carpet and all the rugs in the house.

 

Bitter apple spray and plenty of toys is your best friend with puppies. They really hate the taste of that stuff and the toys will give them something to chew. Also rotating the toys helps. It like when you were a kid and had all the toys but you've already played with them before. Put just a couple out a day and always change one out everyday.

For when you do get a puppy.

 

Couldn’t agree more, just got a lab myself . Toys, walks and bitter Apple are your best friend.

 

Oh trust me we got a ton of toys for her. They just went to my dog after the puppy left. He loves the toys so it was a win-win.

Here’s my favorite pic of him:

 

I like doggos.

 

Who's the resident suspension expert here? I'm about done chasing demons with my front end. Would pay someone a six pack of beer just to ride in/drive my truck to see if they can pin-point what's making this clunking noise accompanied by a loose feeling.

I've re-torqued everything.

 

When do you get the noise? Acceleration, braking, etc?

 

It’s buried somewhere in this thread, but it happens while accelerating, very rarely while braking, and about 97% of the time when going under 30 MPH over any bumps.

 

Sounds like a good example of "ignore it, if something breaks then you'll know what to fix".

How do your LCA bushings and alignment cam tabs look?

 

I don't mean this in any negative way but your dog looks like a total goof ball in that photo. Love it!

 

did you check for play in the tie rods and ball joints? What about wheel bearings?

 

The only thing I haven’t done is taken the sway bar off, but I tried to do that and the end links are seized at the moment.

Waiting for PB Blaster to kick in.

LCA Bushings are both weeping, but neither of them of any damage that I can see. Didn't check the tie rods or the wheel bearings. Let me search on how to do that.

 

What front suspension do you have?

 

ToyTec Boss 2.5 Series Performance Extended Travel Coilovers with SPC LR UCA's.

 

I think I showed you a video a while back, did you film your LCA bushings while accelerating and decelerating?

That was my 2nd gen mystery clunk.

 

Figured the metal heads in this thread would enjoy this

 

heh heh heh

 

The first time I saw PC Principal, I was like James Hetfield? hahaha

 

I think my brother has a GoPro that I may be able to rig up to get some footage. I'll try and this.

 

My guess is it’s the lower shock mount bushing.

Call Radflo and they’ll send you new ones for $15 each. If the bearing is bad too, go ahead and order them as well. You’ll have to press them in/out though.

Ask me how I know:
