My 2000 5sp 2wd ranger developed a very loud clunking noise yesterday, I believe it happened right after hitting a small pothole, but I can't remember. In addition to hearing it, I can feel it throughout the truck, matter of fact, when I hit my brakes, I can feel the vibration through the brake pedal, rather intensely.
It sort of comes and goes, but it'll go away for a minute, then come back for 5. It increases with speed, regardless of what gear I'm in, regardless of whether I'm going straight or turning.
Today I got under the truck checked out all the bushings and ball joints, everything is tight and secure. I pulled the dif cover, all is well. The only thing I'm seeing that can make such a noise is the drive shaft. When I rotate it back and forth it makes a similar clunk from the tranny output, but doesn't do it when I have the truck raised and running in gear.
Any ideas?
