Drive Line Clunk Advice Needed…… Thanks.

[RK Racing]

2023 Lariat FX4 20,000 mi. Lifted. A few days ago it developed a clunk in the drive line. I was going up a very steep hill near the beach and I was stopped on the hill and when I took off, there was a heavy clunk and now there is a little clunk sometimes when it shifts from a red light…….. any advice or area to start looking at Thanks! P.S. I checked driveshaft carrier bearing, the rubber bushing area, and that looked OK.

Robert, I know you said you checked the driveshaft carrier bearing, the rubber bushing area but did you check to make sure the slip joint was greased. Most clinking has been related to that and I added the link below in case you haven't seen it.

Thank you. I will do that tomorrow Saturday. Thanks again! Lol!!!!! I must be getting old. Now that you mentioned that, I remember telling a friend to do this 16 years ago on his super duty and it fixed the problem.
