duno if it matters.. truck is dropped 4/7ish with helper bags..
every once in a while, after i get home, ill be in my room, and ill hear a sound like someone hit my bed floor with a hammer.. friday i just got back home, and was layin under the truck checkin out the driveshaft, and it made the noise. scared the shit out of me.
Sounds like something under a load or tensions is moving or something like that.....Can you see any visible marks like something is hitting in somewere?
the only thing that resembles that noise that ive heard, is if i have the truck jacked up, and let it down kinda fast, the sleeve bag doesnt collapse right. then when you pump air into it, itll kinda pop when it goes back into shape.. but when that happens it doesnt have the metal sound to it..
i just went out and felt the bed floor, and the floor is a little warmer there.. hmm.. i just need to drive it, and stare at the truck till it does it. lol
could it be something in the rear end that dissengages after a bit.. ie g80
if its locked up and after you park in the driveway, the truck usually moves a little(either forward or backward), maybe it isn't enough to dissengage it properly, but it is just enough so that it can slip out and cause a pop????:think:
I honestly do not know, my trauck has never done it, but then again it's still new, but thats what i would think if it were not my exhaust:imo

i doubt it, cause i always backup into the driveway and the driveway slants down a little, so i put it in park and the truck always rolls forward a lil.
IIRC it did it before i ran the tailpipe though..
and my stupid ass shackles squeek like no other. needa fix that shit too!
just drove 30 minutes(work to home) and then i felt the floor where the pipe is.. definitely warmer than the rest of the bed floor.
then i got in the bed and hopped up and down on the bed floor, its all solid... looked under the truck, cant see anything that would make it make the noise..
the bed will def be hotter where the tail pipe is at but I dont think that it would make the metal expand alot to make it pop. Sit out there one day with a buddy a case of beer and watch unless somebody chimes in who has had the problem before it seems like it wouldnt take that long for it to pop but you said it only does it every now and then right
I fixed it... with my mind... all the way from MA.
