clunk/thump suspension & exhaust

[her-truck]

Hey guys,

Need help:

1- my 03(V8) limited has a intermittent thump in the drivetrain???? or maybe a sticky caliper??? when I am at a red light and give it gas. Very annoying- toyota checked it out said nothing wrong with it.


2- when my truck is cold it sounds like there is an exhaust manifold leak on the right side. actually when it warms up it does NOT seem to go away completly just alot quieter??? Toyota also said thats very normal for the 4.7 V8

Need help asap since my ECP warranty runs out in 15,000km
thanks,
Corey

i had both of the symptoms, and unfortuantly both are normal.... driveshaft can be lubed to "help" the clunk but wont go away permenantly. and between the loud injectors and the loud vacume valve the engines on our runners are annoyingly loud.
