    I have 2015 acc cab v6 4x4 with 6k on it and notice during normal street driving little knocks in the driveline. I'll mention this next time it's in .... wondering if this is a common issue.

    Did you turn your CRAWL control off :cookiemonster:

    Just kidding I just wanted to take a shot at 3rd Gens to be cool like everyone else.

    Do you feel the knocks? Or do you HEAR clunks and/or knocks?

    Feel the and occasionally hear them. I'm an old guy and have had a bunch of trucks. Just wondering if this is common. These day all vehicles have their "things".

    And yeah I'll have them Check this ... like I said I'm an old guy ... 52 .. don't get under vehicles anymore. Not be a use I can't .. just because I don't want to. I'll do oil changes on my cars truck and bikes but that's it. Spare time = motorcycle ride. I don't even want to mow the lawn anymore and I have a rider :)
    Thanks for the info !

    Do you have a trailer hitch in? Mine clunks over every bump, especially when clean.

    Suppose I can pull the ball off to rule that out. But it doesn't sound like that's the cause from inside the cab ... I'll try .. nothing to loose.
