- I had a similar knock that you are describing a few years ago. It turned out be loose rear shock bolts. I tighten them and the knock went away. It's worth checking. Ron Mitchell _____________________

- Generally the diff will whine when it fails, rather than knock, so you should be fine. I'd check shock mount bolts, that's what it sounds like to me. Also possibly U-joints, but I'd look at the shoc

- Had the same problem on the FX4 Cab. I had to put a sandpaper "gasket" under the rear shock to stop its movement (well...erm... not a factory solution, but worked - I was afraid of pulling the thread
