I have a clunk that has recently shown up mainly when turning and going over uneven road grades. Not sure where its coming from. Thought it was the tool box in the truck but eliminated that possibility by removing it. I got into the  bed of the truck and bouncing and shaking the truck recreates it somewhat. Still no idea where its coming from. I have 4200miles on the truck and its only been happening for about the last 1000 miles. Anyone else dealt with this?

Do you have the appropriate torque number for the leaf springs?

Yes, I’ve asked about this in the past. Any idea on torque specs and procedure?

 

Ive had this and it’s not outrageous but it’s there. Coming out of driveway, back in driveway, going over slow uneven ground etc. 

 

It seems to come from the rear ends of the leaves and those plastic friction discs are not adequate. 
 

and by torque the leaf springs are you only talking about the four U bolts or also the small retaining ones near the ends? 
 

I’ve been just living with it. Will it cause any problems or damage?

Nobody wants a "loose rear end"!

 

Well, maybe some congress interns.

You might be hearing the 3rd brake light plastic spoiler popping and making noises. Mine makes noise and my previous GMC 1500 did the same.

Torque is 100 Nm plus 180 degrees.  If that does not work, you may need to replace the tip inserts (plastic inserts).

 

#iworkforGM.

So 74 ft/lbs plus 180deg. Does it say whether that is loaded weight or unloaded as in jacked up with wheels off the ground? 
 

Thanks

I retightened the ubolts and put some grease in the front pads and it's still there. My truck has 150 miles. Also the ads on this forum are out of control. Can't believe people participate in it. I've seen scam sites with less ads. I had to get rid of 15 ads just to type this.

I have an ad blocker and never see any ads. I use the free version of AdBlock Plus. I’m sure others work well too.

I use what another jr said. I don’t get a single ad.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
