Been a while with no issues as the sound had diminished enough or I had just gotten used to it.. kind of like the chatter at home..
I am now up to 160k and I am teaching my son the finer points of driving this monster. While riding b****, I noticed a creaky rattly sound on the passenger side front just below my feet. Smooth roads, no problem, relatively large expansion joints/potholes etc...
rattle rattle rattle... creak rattle rattle.. WTH?
This is a "NEW" noise. I've owned this dude since 05 and 46k and it absolutely is something I've not heard..
Reading so many post's, this one included.... Body mounts?

Solved my problem....
Had the clunking start about two months ago. Climbed under the truck several times looking for something loose but never found anything.
Read this thread and decided to check the sway bar bolts.
I had replaced the bushings (Energy Suspension) in April of 2012 at 110,955 miles so I never really thought about something being loose (duh!).
I checked the upper mounting bolts and found them to be tight. Then I checked the linkage bolts and guess what? They were both loose! Not sloppy loose but a good 1 to 1.5 turns.
Just finished a test drive and the clunking is gone!
Thanks for everyone that posted here!
