Metallic clunk noise on 2024 Raptor

[Domin0]

It's 100% exhaust overrun. First time I experienced it was in "Normal" exhaust mode while lifting off the throttle on an incline, and I thought something broke because it was unexpected

I like it. Can't really induce it the same way you can on an F-Type or some BMWs, but "burble tunes" are so ******* annoying and overplayed at this point that I'm more than okay with it being occasional.

I thought there was a binding/pop noise in the rear suspension and quickly figured out it was the exhaust

Hey hi all, I’m new here! I just got a new raptor about 2 months ago (2024, 35 package, shelter green) and have about 800 miles on it.

I’ve noticed since about day 1 that every once in a while (maybe about once per drive) I’ll get this metallic kind of clunk noise. It almost sounds like metal popping back into place with a sort of ping noise to it. I got under the truck and looked at the skid plate and the plate that protects the axel and couldn’t find anything that felt loose or looked strange.

Does anyone know what it might be? Has anyone else experienced this noise? Thanks!

Look for a little clamp towards the driver’s side of where the drive shaft meets the transmission. If that’s it, I popped mine off. Doesn’t seem to have a purpose. Let me know what you learn. Mine is a Raptor R, so not sure if this is the same for the Raptor. It just rattles…

I’ve noticed some bump related noise with my 24 as well, but it’s similar to my 21 that got its shocks warranty replaced. Not going down that rabbit hole again and I’m just considering it normal.

he's not referring to exhaust overrun here.

he's likely referring to to what I assume is a heat shield related pop or ding-like metal sound that occurs occasionally during the first mile or two of a drive.

I get exhaust overrun in baja exhaust mode and occasionally in other modes, but what OP describes is similar to the metal ding I hear from time to time; it only happens at the beginning of a drive and never later into a drive.

To me if sounded like it as something above the frame and below the bed area with my old 21. It wasn’t the shocks. I hear the same noise. These trucks just clink a little.
