It could even be a broken motor mount. Good luck with it, atleast on these old trucks it's fairly simple to diagnose and fix! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 ODSS Lawman | | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 | With the ifo given, I would lean on a broken shock. Find a speed bump in a local parking lot and see if you get multiple clunks....

We got a Jr. high kid who was walking past the parking lot and convinced him to crawl under the hood and ride there while we "got her up to 40+ mph". He didn't see or hear the problem, he was too busy screaming after he burnt himself on the exhaust. Kids are crazy...
