Ching Ching Sound????
Im worried about my truck, I have like a Ching Ching sound every time I hit a bump, have no clue what it is, but its driving me insane. I replaced my Autolocking Hubs with Warn Premium Lockers and Repacked the wheel bearing 2 days ago thinking that would solve the problem, but it didnt! Anyone got any suggestions? 
Front End is basically new, I have a 6 inch Superlift, with the Prerunner Steering Kit.
Ive tried everything to get rid of this sound, including taking a rubber mallot and banging on stuff to see if I could track the sound.

Do you have a cash register in the back of the truck? That might cause a ching ching sound. Now on a more serious note annoying sounds come with older vehicles and are sometimes hard to diagnose. Try having someone else drive the truck while you climb all over the place trying to find out where the noise is coming from. ching-ching usually means metal on metal so that might help you diagnose it. Lift kits are always suspect as hardware and parts settle in after some time. Get under that thing and retorque anything that you can. It is basically a crap shoot, but Good Luck!

I found my ching-ching noise. One of the bolts that holds the passenger front plastic inner fender had backed out slightly, and the washer was making my ching sound. Start checking everything to make sure it's not loose.

Mine makes the same sound, but it's just from the mechanic's cash register.
Seriously, it's probably the front brake pads. They have clips in there that keep them from rattling, and if the clip is not tight or has fallen out it will make that sound over every bump. Check it out.

This may sound strange, (and when it happened to me I could not belive it ether)but the rivets that hold your crossmemders to your frame may be loos. My bronco has over 480,000 miles on it and mine were so loose that I had to have the front crossmemder on the driver side welded to the frame becouse one of the rivits was so loos it was allowing the frame to move arond slightley. It made this horible high piched ching sound on every bump. Once it was welded the sound went away.
I found it by laying in my back under the Bronco wile my wife turned the stering whele from left to right and could see the frame moving around the rivit.
But first I would try tightening all the bolts to the lift kit and putting some sort of lubrication on all the bushings.
Mine was probably just a case af exteme milage
