can't stop the clunk....

can\'t stop the clunk....

have a 90' blazer that clunks when put into gear or when shifting between gears (automatic). Figured it was probably the U-joints so replaced them today. problem is.. it still clunks.. Seems a lot better when accelerating etc.. but still clunks when put into drive or when coasting and it downshifts. When you put it into drive it clunks and lurches like it has a high idle but idle is right where it should be (does it regardless of engine being warm or cold). What else would cause this?

Have you checked the U-bolts and the tranny mounts?

Mine does it too, typical truck clunk, i believe it has something to do with being an older truck, with wear on the trans, transfer case and rear diff, all combined, creates slop all as one, which makes a "clunk"

Was my next step, still trying to find out what the bolt size is for the drain and fill bolts on the x-fer case so I can do it all at once.

Kind of what I figured but it still drives me nuts (I'm a little anal retentive about errant noises on my vehicles. Always hear the little noises no one else ever hears...)
Should just listen to my buddy who says "turn the stereo up, the windows down and you'll never notice it" (scary thing is that he's a master mechanic, of course he's the same a**hole who convinced me to buy this K5)
