popping noise

I ran across a TSB stating that some super duty crews create a
popping sound down below the cab when driven on uneven pavement.
This is happening to me. Should I worry about it? What is
causing it? If there is a fix, is it covered by warrenty?:-X12

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 11-Dec-02 AT 08:24 PM (EST)]If I remember its the body mount bolts and bushings need to be retorqued.
these trucks flex alot when traversing uneven ground! the bushings bind up ,then pop when the stress is relieved !
With the possibility of the sheet metal welds in the floor being broken or something.
yes its under warranty if the truck is still within the alotted time!
Hope this helps
