Not mine, slight clunk from park to d an r. I just notice a click from the front at parking lot speed while floating the brakes.

Have you checked your axel/spring u-bolts to make sure they're tight?

My truck has been doing that for the past 2 weeks.. It makes a clunk noise when I take off from a complete stop and also when I stop.. I plan on bringing it into the dealer soon, But assume it has to do with my 35's and 3.55 gears.. I guess I will find out!

I have a 2010 SCREW. When I would stop I could feel a clunk a fraction of a second after I stopped and slightly released brake pressure.
When I took off I could feel a slight clunk a fraction of a second after I took off.
There is a TSB for this condition, which applies to trucks with a split drive shaft.
The splines on the drive shafts fit to tight and stick. When you ease up on the brake or lightly accelerate the splinses finish sliding.

Takes about 1 hours. 2 clamps, special grease and a new dust boot. Covered under warranty

I have a 2010 Fx4 and I get a clunk every time I accelerate from a stop. Been to lazy to take it to the dealer. If you find a fix let us all know!

my 2010 reg cab 8' box 4x4. The job site I am working at. When I leave for the day. At this particular stop sign, very slight down hill. When I stop I can feel a slam wind up, then bam when I stop. I'm thinking its the spline binding to the transmission. I have to go to dealer with other problems/annoyances when I get chance.

My new 2011 5.0 S/Cab FX4 pings/creaks like a bad u joint when going from drive to reverse and reverse to drive. Especially on intial accel after changing direction. They ordered me a new driveshaft today.
