    2020 OR DC, 2100 miles. I've noticed a clunk a second or two after coming to a stop, only when stopping on a level or downhill slope. It's right under the middle of the truck at the driveshaft area and is felt in the driver's seat. Any idea if it's normal? I thought I read about it on here but can't find the thread. Thanks

    A couple questions for you:

    Do you have a lot of weight in the bed?
    Does it happen when you push the clutch in getting ready to come to a stop?

    It's a manual transmission and is independent of whether the clutch is in or not. Seems to get worse at times then lighter.

    No load in the bed except the bed mat. Also it isn't the clutch, happens if I'm in neutral, first with clutch in at stop, etc

    Mine does the same thing, 2018 automatic long bed.

    Ive noticed it does it more often when I am around 1/2-3/4 tank of fuel. I have a feeling that its the fuel moving from the front to the back and causing one of the sides of the gas tank to "pop" like the lid of a jar.

    you may need to grease the driveline. when low on grease, this can cause what you are experiencing.

    What is in the centre console. I had a pen making noises in there. Threw it out the window. Don't think that guy on the bike liked getting hit with it but no more clunk!

    On a brand new truck with 2100 miles? I read there are no zerks on the driveline though. My '04 had about 8-10 zerks.

    You will probably find 2 zerks on the front driveshaft, but none on the rear. That's how my '19 Sport rolls.
    My '16 had 5 zerks.

    No clunks in mine after stop. The only time it clunks is when i go over bumps in neutral.


    Good luck.

    Check that your spare is locked in tight?
