All, I have a 2013 Plat Screw 4x4 with approx. 7500 miles. For the past several weeks I have noticed a "clicking" noise upon cold start and putting the truck into reverse. I'm now noticing it when I first take off in Drive as well. It is a series of several small clicks then seems to fade as you accelerate. This reminds me of a similar issue some folks were having back in '05 and the dealer would remove the drive line and re-lube the splines to get it to stop. Anyone else have this issue, I did a search but couldn't find anything similar...or it could be a "U" joint going bad, wouldn't think so at just 7500 miles?

Update: to clarify - I'm not referring to the initial "clunk" when you first shift out of Park into gear - thx!

 

HotLap,

Let me lend a hand. PM me your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and dealer info. I'll see how I can help.

Get your slip yoke greased ..

 

Ashley, thank you for your kind offer to assist! You have a PM and let me know what you find out. Apologize I'm just now getting back with you have been busy lately.

 

6.2, thanks for the suggestion, this is what it is sounding like to me as well. I had the same thing happen back on my 2005 Lariat Screw 4x4! Appreciate the advice.

 

If you find a long term fix please let me know !! I hate that noise ...

 

Don't think there is a long term fix. Had my 2011 slip yolk lubed at 32,000 and by 60,000 it was back. Just live with it now since it doesn't really hurt anything other than irritate me.

 

Shoot you did good Jim.. Had mine greased at 23k miles and it was clunking again at 27k miles. Next oil change its going in again for some more lube.

 

Ya that's all mine lasts too.. If that !
