clunk coming from front end
i have just over 56,000 on my 2011. i have a western snow plow that weighs in right around 1,000lbs so i know the front end is going to wear a little faster with the amount of plowing i do. but to the point, i have a klunk coming from the front end every time i hit a bump. im positive its not my shocks.. but am left with the question of what other possibilities this could be?! any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I got a buddy with a fleet of super dutys for plowing and help him with bigger repairs. Right tie rod end is usually the first to go. U joints haven't been a problem since they went back to greaseable joints. Ball joints usually last longer than whats on your truck.

The "hill start/assist" system on my truck is very sensitive. I hear a thud almost every time I leave a traffic light fromthe brakes releasing due to this anti-roll system. Could this be it?

You can always have your dealership take a peek. If it only happens when you have the plow attached, I recommend having the tech take it for a test drive while it's still on. Keep us in the loop.
