    This may sound odd, but check you're front bumper mounts. I swore up and down it had to be my lower arms, but turned out it was the bumper mounts.

    You are correct about the cummins being reliable. Problem is like all diesels, they require more maintenance than gas engines. They also require double the engine oil when changing. Diesel fuel also costs more.
    Not worth it to me. The trade for the toyhauler might be though. A Tundra 5.7 would pull that in style.

    Most likely not a cv if it does it going straight. Probably a ball joint or loose control arm/shock bolt.

    Also the bushings that secure the racks on our trucks seem to go out a lot. I've had that cause a pretty decent pop as well.

    Not to mention how the new ones are upsidedown and require pig urine. :eek: Our plan is to probably trade our Tundra in for one of the new ones for towing. Ours is too much of a pretty boy truck to be towing a crawler.

    Can't see it without an account lol
