Late to the party on this thread but I’d have to guess that a little whine is normal on these trucks. In fact, these things are noisy as hell in general from what I’m slowly discovering. I’m actually on my second 5th gen this month... the first was a 2011 Limited 4x4 with 95k, and I gave that...

Welp, it looks like this one is going back. I did confirm something I had been kind of noticing the past few days, and that is that the clunk is virtually nonexistent when the vehicle is completely cold. This leads me to believe the problem is most likely differential or transmission related and...

I don’t know what I would even take a video of, it’s not an audible or violent clunk but definitely a thunk you can feel when you lift off the gas and get back on it. I think my next step is to get underneath with a pry bar and check the ujoints for play.

Good info, thank you. You know I did notice last night I do have a very slight whir at between 73-75mph or so most prevalent on down hill slopes (estimated, because the trail wheels are smaller diameter and throw off the speedo a bit). This truck had about *4* owners before me and is...

That’s what I’m thinking. It shifts fine and everything works, it just feels like there’s driveline slop

Hey everyone. I just acquired a 2011 Limited 4x4 with about 96k that the last guy apparently swapped the later Trail wheels to and I’m enjoying so far except for a couple of annoyances. The biggest issue I’ve noticed that concerns me somewhat is a different type of clunk than the MANY MANY...

Ditto, looks great

Damn

This was my thinking as well... it doesn’t take a whole lot of moisture inside that sealed environment to condense when it’s cold enough outside, and then freeze on that surface.

Sounds like it’s gonna be a great trip!

LOL, it’s all good! I can totally understand where you’re coming from. Following to see it installed.

Agree on the general sentiment of CBs as a “for your entertainment” type device. Also, you need a good antenna and mount for any of this. Handy talkie type CBs inside a car almost never work in my opinion, but can be a last line of defense outside of it.

I actually like the stock entune unit and the way it blends With the dash. Are you planning a full stereo upgrade?

Amazing pics.

Curious to see this as well. Hopefully not another common dash issue.
