Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / June 2009Clunk!
Gotta love old(ish) trucks (2001 Dodge Dakota, 4x4, 4.7l v8, manual) Got driving after work, noticed immediately tht there was an odd clunk when I'd depress the brake pedal. No change in braking capability, couldn't feel it, but could definitely *hear* it. Went away after maybe 10-20 minutes of stop-and-go driving. After an hour's commute, never did come back, and braking still feels normal. If it matters, it's a rainy, warmish (80f) and humid afternoon. What could it have been? Should I worry? jmc Broken shock mount? > Gotta love old(ish) trucks (2001 Dodge Dakota, 4x4, 4.7l v8, manual) > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > jmc Suddenly, without warning, Bill exclaimed (5/29/2009 7:05 AM): > Broken shock mount? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> jmc Dunno. Shocks *seem* fine. What would I look for? Truck's fine this morning, no clunk at all. jmc You may have had a stuck brake. You mention in your orginal post high humidity. Had this happen with a Mazada pickup after driving through a flooded street. Piston started sticking and would suddenly release making a clunking sound and the steering wheel would jerk. Once free it would work fine until it stuck again. Took several months to find out what was causing it. Motor mount? Can you open the hood, hold the brake, and give it some gas. See if the motor moves. Try reverse too. (You may have someone else look for you). > Suddenly, without warning, Bill exclaimed (5/29/2009 7:05 AM): HUH??? >> Broken shock mount? >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > jmc >Gotta love old(ish) trucks (2001 Dodge Dakota, 4x4, 4.7l v8, manual) > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >jmc Geeze, did you take the cement block out of the bed yet? <g> (Yea, I've found so many odd clunks were cargo shifting in the bed, or the tool box!)

No, that's the squeak in the back (that rumbling noise is the hand cart in the bed box. This was a clunk in the front. :) The "stuck brake" idea in another post sounds reasonable to me. I'll see if it comes back again. And, I'm definitely driving too fast if the cement block shifts - LineX! jmc > Suddenly, without warning, PeterD exclaimed (5/29/2009 9:31 AM): >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > jmc Probably those CCC's you made for Denny!

Well, yea, if they were still in the back they'd be that hard by now :) But cccs don't last that long around here. ::looks around and whispers:: Don't tell Denny, but I have a cookie jar full of sdccc's right now (sourdough cc cookies). They're too yummy to share! jmc > Suddenly, without warning, Roy exclaimed (5/29/2009 4:49 PM): > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I've just hired Abby from NCIS to trace this post.
