I already cut the dampening weight out. It was rattling, but eliminated that already.

Knock off go-pro. Amazon special. Camera + magnet was less than $75.

You know how people say: kid’s worse than a red headed step kid? I’ve got one of those. 16 going on 30 and thinks he knows it all.

Just to eliminate the driveshaft clunk I would lube the yoke, quick and easy and one less possibility. You can never go wrong with a little extra lube down there.

Yolk was installed Tuesday. Changed from Chrome Molly to oem. DS is from axle exchange. Yolk was lubed with white lithium grease

Here is one video. At around 14 seconds I heard the noise just a little in the cab. Please ignore the mud. I got ole girl stuck in a pasture last weekend pulling out a trailer loaded with wood. Spent an hour at the car wash. I got stuck with trailer hooked up. Unhooked trailer and got out on Raptor power. Then took a tractor back and got the trailer on solid ground.

Here is a 2nd video. Nothing too notable here. Anything I should focus the camera on? I’ll try to get more when I leave work this evening.

Here’s another link. The audio sucks. I guess the microphone was getting pummeled by the wind. Lesson learned. I tried to honk when I could hear the clink. You can catch a honk the last 15 seconds or so. Lighting sucks as well.

So one thing that has me scratching my head. The shop that installed the Deaver +3’s with sdhq strike plates, they left the top portion of factory bump stops on. It almost looks like that could be colliding with strike plate.

I’ll get a better angle tomorrow and confirm or deny if they are hitting.
