Rondog's Long Travel Build

I will..don't know if you missed my post above mentioning popping the seal on one of them..this sound is so confusing because some times I think its coming from the rear!!

 

oh i missed that part... if the seal got popped then there's a good chance it's gotten messed up

 

Mine pops too. Same condition, low speed turning or very small bumps. Large bumps or speed and I have no noises. I have taken everything apart 3 times and re checked and found nothing. Even took out my shock and put everything back together to cycle without the shock. I have found 5 or 6 people with similar issues. Some have Camburg, some have TC, one has All Pro. Im thinking its just noises that I am not used to because my truck only had 70k on it when I did the LT. Let me know if you find anything

 

us 1st gen have a mysterious clunk... esp when we go LT

i've heard it's the steering rack that does it... when it happens it's loud right? like something just blew up loud...

 

mine isn't that loud..if it was you'd be able to hear it a lot better in my videos..in the videos it just sounds like a minor click..1st gen may be different though

 

Its not too loud. It sounds like you are lightly tapping the frame with a wrench but more like a stress "pop". I doubt it would come up on a video but Ill try later

 

+1

 

yeah... i have the "popping" sound... but mine is loud as hell

sometimes people look over at me in the parking lot like my truck just died...lol

 

Mine isnt like the motor blew or anything. I thought thats what you meant. Its def loud enough for people outside my truck to hear though. And its getting louder and more consistent

I think they are looking at you saying, look at that hunk o' junk on wheels

 

people looks at my truck and say that anyways...lol

mine pop sound happens alot more when it's hot outside... now that it's summer and it's 100 deg where i live it does it all the time...

 

You know Im kidding your truck is bad ass. Its funny though how some people view it. When my dad first saw my truck he said I ruined a perfectly good truck lol. I disagree

Maybe that is why mine is popping worse. Its over 110 here now

 

a coworker of mine says the same thing. After I got my bed sides on he was like "finally, now we dont have to look at that eye sore"

I thought it looked pretty cool with no bed sides lol

 

I finally got a decent video showing this damn noise I keep hearing when slowly turning...first instance of it is about 11-12 seconds in

much better... i heard it. kind sounds like the video i posted.

have you check out the tie rods?

 

Briefly..I checked em this morning..visibly they look ok. I tugged on em this morning and they didn't move at all. When I get home, I'll jack the front end up and take a closer look. Should I grease them up or something? I don't know what could be bad on them besides that rubber seal but I dont see that being the reason of the noise.

That video you posted, is there a thread somewhere that guy posted in?

 

yeah, dont forget about the wheel bearings either...

 

where'd you find that video you posted? I want to see his forum post if there is one

 

here's the link, it was a thread on TTORA

 

sweet, thanks

 

That sounds pretty close to mine too. Matt did you mean you posted a video of your truck and it sounds like that too? Also is yours on the drivers side?
