Clunking when accelerating and letting off
I have a 1993 F150 4x4 with a 5.0. When I am accelerating and i quickly let off the gas, there is a loud clunk. I also hear this clunk when i let the truck coast and engine break then put my foot back on the pedal. What is this clunk? Its driving me crazy.

Take a look at the u-joints, that's a possibility.

After checking the u-joints, check the transmission and motor mounts.
