I finally think I have found the issue.  http://www.alldata.com/TSB/42/064230ae.html     must be a member I guess

Service bulletin dated 05-117 DEC 05   States that the clips on the leaf spring need a certain type of grease with molycote 7.  You would think that if this is dated in 2005, a 2006 would have come with it applied already.

Went and purchased a tube from local autoparts store for under 5.00 and followed a guide found on another website to understand what all needed to be done so I could lubricate the parts properly. 

I only did this, this morning but already everything is much quieter.  I will give it a week for the new grease to get into where it needs to be via normal driving.

But the NOISE IS GONE!!!!



It may need to be reapplied periodically as it gets washed off in the rain , etc. It is not applied in the factory.

Sorry folks..the clunk is back.  The only thing I can possibly think of is the leaf springs, but I only have 43K miles on this truck and it is really starting to irritate me.

Apply more grease- make sure you spread the clip to get plenty of grease between it and the spring or just turn up the radio!!!!!!
