[QUOTE="JohntheDrummer, post: 109119, member: 3257"] I had the same "clunk" sound and always thought it was the rear shock noise I always read about here. When I read about the weight, I wanted to find out once and for all what the noise was. Saturday I dropped my spare to check out the weight and when I went underneath the truck to move the spare I heard the familiar "clunk." Sure enough, the piece that holds the spare in place hitting against the rim of the spare was it. As long as I was under there, I checked out the weight. It is well isolated and no matter how I slapped it around, it made no noise.. The rubber mounting feels thick and I can with certainty say that's not the issue here. I put the spare back in place and cranked it up there until the "hand-winch" wouldn't let me tighten it anymore. Seems as though they make it that way so the spare is not over-torqued. Monday I ran the truck over the same speed bump in the parking lot where I work that always makes the truck make the clunk noise I hear every day. Bada Bing, no more noise! I may just pick up some rubber gasket material and isolate the spare tire from the carrier bracket that holds it up, just to be on the safe side, I hated that noise and I want to make sure that even if the tire loosens up over time, there will be no way it can clunk. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
