So…I’m looking for some insight into this. I feel like I have what amounts to some driveline “slop”. I’m not sure if this is normal on these trucks, or this is a start to bigger problems. I had a 2006 Dakota that ended up having to have the drive shaft and rear end replaced after similar symptoms. When I take off from a start and brake to a stop, there is a noticable delay->clunk as the truck settles in to either accelerating or coming to rest. I’m not sure if this is just extreme softness in the beginning travel of the shocks, or if something is loose in the drivetrain, like a U-joint or engine mount. Perhaps it’s an issue with the FX4 off road package? There’s only 7800 miles on the truck, so it shouldn’t be wear. I’m taking it in for the first oil change soon and to have the recall addressed and I want to have a brain cell for what I’m telling them to check out.
