Yea I've basically been waiting for it to come back the last few days...like I said, at least I'll be ready for it if/when it does return. I was kinda looking forward to doing a little tinkering on the truck too, but I guess I have to take my good fortune, even if temporary, for what it's worth.

Hey all - So I just got my SpringThings in the mail today (Monday) but, I swear, the clunking has magically gone away in the last 3-5 days. Now, it has been pretty wet here the last few days (major rain storms) so maybe the moisture has something to do with it (maybe acting like a pseudo lubricant?) but I've driven quite a bit since last week Wednesday when I initially posted and I cannot hear/feel the clunking anymore coming from the leaf springs. That being said, I will not be installing the SpringThings until I hear the clunking come back (if it ever does). Could this honestly be a "breaking in" of the new truck? Again, I bought the truck brand new off the lot and it now has 500 miles on it. Either way, I'll take it. It's nice knowing I have the right parts if the clunking should come back.

Sounds good Dogdad...I'm hoping to see the "Spring Things" arrive here by Friday or Saturday and will install them this weekend if that is the case. I'll definitely let you guys know how it goes once they're in...Is it bad that I'm excited to fix my truck?!? LoL Boy, if I were a GM dealer, I'd heavily invest in a shipment of Spring Things. I wonder why GM hasn't changed their tactics at the factory and come up with something similar or better than the the little plastic shims they've been using...does GM NOT cruise the internet and read these forums?? I mean, c'mon, it's 2021 here. We shouldn't be smarter than the engineers that design/build our trucks, should we?

Hey all - Noticed this slight "clunk" at the dealership the very first day I test drove my new truck (2021 Trail Boss LT) and figured it was maybe some initial "break in" but the clunk has not dissipated (it's actually gotten a bit worse as I have 300mi on it now). Like others, the clunk is most noticeable when turning into an entrance/drive way where there is a slight change in elevation...While I'm still pretty pi$$ed that GM hasn't remedied this issue on their own on these $50k+ trucks, I was relieved to find there was a simple $40 fix for this that didn't involve going through the dealership runaround and wasting my time taking my truck in. Just to be sure, I just went out and rocked the bed of my truck back and forth and sure enough, the clunk was there...I was even able to rock the truck with one hand on the leaf spring and I could feel the subtle vibration of the clunk. Anyway, I just logged onto www.spring-thing.com and placed my order. I'll get back to you all once I get them in the next 1-3 days and install them....thank God for this forum!! ~Kevin
