    I have a case of beer for anybody that can figure it out
    With one tire in the air and 4wd engaged I could not find any slop in the u-joints or bearings. Also checked ps fluid and it's good. The noise seems not to be coming from either wheel, can be felt in the steering wheel when turning at speed or parked.

    Any other ideas?

    I'm just shooting from the hip here...

    Is there any slop in the steering box/frame area? I noticed a couple weeks ago some company came out with a steering box brace for these trucks. Is this a possible issue? Or is it something for the ricers?

    No noticeable steering box/frame slop, that I can tell

    Colman- I thought that too but the trac bar bushings are brand new and the bolts are tight as ****. The bushings were bad and caused the bolts to loosen. I'm wondering if there was a under lying problem that caused the bushings and ball joints to go out.


    If I had money i would fix all this **** with new carli ****, but i don't.


    edit- The noise has temporarily stopped with no change to anything

    Start throwing the impact to any/all bolts. Body mounts, crossmembers, bumper mounts, etc. Anything that connects the framerails. I had a clunk for a while on my F150, would only clunk when turning. Found the trans crossmember bolts were just loose enough to allow it to shift.

    that brace is a POS and causes more damage than good.

    You should check u-joints with tires blocked and transmission/tcase in neutral

    I've done that along with a couple hard 4wd take offs both on and off road this morning.


    I'm going to just start taking **** apart again starting with trac bar.

    I'll be doing this before the meeting if anybody wants to come by.

    unless your that damn anal about it, i honestly would worry about it. My old 98 1500 (same basic design) has been popping and squeaking since i got it. buy a bag of chips or a gay tip to drown out the noise.

    to get rid of it, buy a free spin kit.

    Third time ****ing with the trac bar seems to have it fixed for now.

    Just for reference I tightened the bolts to the point that I'm surprised they didn't brake.

    if they brake, your breaks might not work
