Well, I went and traded my SuperCrew 4X4 for a Black 2002 L. What an awesome piece of equipment. There aren't too many in my county so heads turn evertime I drive by. However, I already have a problem . Sometimes when I am backing up, I hear a loud clunk. It makes the noise right before I have stopped rolling in reverse. It sounds like it is coming from my left front rotor and does it more often when I am turning the wheel to the right. Has anyone heard this before? Please help. Anyways, I am thrilled to be a new L owner and I enjoy reading your posts. You guys crack me up.

Welcome to the "Clunk Club"

 

the cluncking in the front end is the lower control arm. i had the same problem i took it to the dealer and i told them to check everything in the front end. It end up being that the lower control arm wasnt torqued to specifications they tightened and havent had heard it since. It ahs been like 2 months

 

Clunk washers are only $25 and an easy fix. Should be your first mod!

Black is the best color!

 

Congrats on the new purchase of your L! I'm sure you will love it as much as all of us to.


Beware of the mod bug though grr

Congratulations on L ownership. Pay no attention to the big grin you will inherit along with the L. It comes with the truck.

Btw, good choice of color, rumored to be the fastest of colors.

Welcome to the Sheat Eating Grin Club!!!

 

You know, strange thing mine has never clunked. I have had other tipical issues plus a tranny failure but never the clunk.

 

Congrads on your truck man ... you will love it more and more as everone else does.. and don't worry about the clunk thats want makes it a lightning... Jk......

 

Welcome,

Let the Mod's begin. It took me all of a week to start I have the clunk since day one too, I never bothered to get it fixed. Like Blown said, it's part of owning a Lightning. Plus "I'm not" de-moding my L for a Stinking Clunk. I'll save that for something good like new heads or a tranny All I know, is I'm in love with a whine and need a second job for more Mod's.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll have it checked out this week. By the way, do you know of any tweaks or adjustments I could do to this hot rod? Also, what are some good start up mods?

 

If you hear of any let us know

Do you miss the back cab at all? My dad doesnt want to lose his SuperCab, but I doubt he'll miss it if he gets a L
