    Took my truck to the dealer today and they gave it back saying they couldn’t duplicate the issue. I’m going to record it on camera and show it to them next. Funny driving back home it did it again, left turn, slight bump/incline and the rattle/grind noise. I actually feel it in the gas pedal too.

    I took my truck to a dealership for the same clunk noise. I had two technicians go for a test drive. We heard the noise from the front right after leaving a parking spot.

    Answer: Anti-Lock Brake Self-Test. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is designed to conduct a self-test every time you crank the engine.

    The system performs a self check after starting the truck and moving at approximately 3 mph. If you move back to the original start spot AND do NOT restart the truck, the noise will not occur again. However, if you restart the truck and begin to leave you will hear the clunk noise.

    My truck also makes the noise in reverse, but only after a Key restart.

    Good luck.
