Clunk when moving starting from a stop
Recently my truck has developed a soft clunk when moving out from a stop. It feels like there is some driveline slop being taken up. I got down under the truck and tried to rotate the driveshaft. No freeplay there. I heard a while back about something with a slip yoke problem, but thought that was for the 4X4 guys.
But...
The carrier bearing rubber support seems to move around a little bit. Would it seem logical that the rubber support is letting the driveshaft "wrap up". And that is the clunk?
Any ideas?

My truck is stock. I'll take a look at the spring pads though, the u-bolts too.
I think this weekend I'll change my transmission fluid and filter. When that is going on I'll try the grease on the splines. I know I've heard about that before, just thought it was 4WD guys only.

My old 99' had this same problem. Took it to the dealership under warrenty and they replaced the slip yoke with the nickel coated version and it fixed it. I sold the truck before I got a chance to put more miles on it so I don't know if it would come back or not.

Thanks for all the help.
