That's what I'm doing now...sometimes I hear it, sometimes not....and it's a pretty small sound so i'm trying to isolate where it's coming from. Are Click and clack the car guys? I wub them, but usually miss the show. Stormdancer

Don't really have room to do this, but I am curious as to what it would accomplish??? I am now parking in my neighbor's drive, so no more mud...YIPPEE!! Stormdancer

This is good to know since i've heard that as well. Since I've heard it in most of my cars, and they've never exploded, I always figured it was a normal-ish thing. Stormdancer

Thanks Chris...I'm purty sure I know what the drive shaft is, but then i'm stumped...LOL. I'll make sure that's taken care of. I plan on skipping "womens night" at jiffy lube in favor of MY mechanic...LOL...he may just fall over in a dead faint if I ask him to grease the fittings you...

so...Today i shifted it back and forth a few times....have not heard the noise. Everything seems to be fine. Maybe it was my teen daughter...maybe she dropped her make up bag and that was the "CLUNK" I heard...LOL... What kinds of maint do I need with an oil change....24K miles? I am...

LOL...I am a DudeEtte.....It's only been a day or so...since the MUD parking. Reverse only so far.... I hate to say this but it sounds like an old OLDer car of mine sounded when the U-joint was going....not exactly a 'CLUNK"... from the engine, underneath...which to me is trans, but I am a...

Okay...Where i've had to park is now a MUD lot....and over the last few days I've noticed an odd sound when i shift into reverse. could the two be connected? I just had the undercarriage washed, but still heard it. I'm still under warranty, but hoping this is something simple. BTW...07...

LOL 4boer.... I live in the western suburbs and NEVER go into the city so you are safe...from me at least. I am actually a transplant from Colorado, and even after 13 yrs, I don't feel at home here. Thanks for the welcome.....and I'll try not to be too much of a nuisance. I do notice...

Thanks for the info Alaskaman..I don't drive over 40 on a daily basis so this works for me. Lockiing the dif is a whole "nother learning thread for me. I don't think i need to lock for my situation, so no worries there. Yeah...I've lurked here for a few months...and tried to keep up with...

thanks for the reply cj3flyr I really like the way it feels/handles in 4wd. Not sure why that is since I grew up on 2wd in LOTS of conditions. I guess I just wanted to make sure that keeping it in 4wd most of the time was ok. I'm not a big fan of switching stuff back and forth all the...

Bear with me.... Is it better for me to leave it in 4wd or continue to switch it back and forth ( I don't want "stuff" wearing out) I often need it for my driveway, but then the main roads are clear. Does the temperature outside make a difference? If it's REALLY cold...Zero or below...does...

Howdy...New owner of an 07 4Runner and LOVE it. I do have LOTS of dumb-ish questions since this is my first 4WD. I bought it used from a member here on the board. He'd had his spare tire stolen in Chicago. Needless to say, my tire pressure light is blinking. I suppose replacing the spare...
