Location: New Hampshire | I'm looking to buy a 2002 Ford F350 7.3L Crew Cab Dually with 77,500 miles on it. I took it for a test drive and drove great. Started to decelerate at about 20m.p.h and heard a clunk noise, any suggestions? I have researched the noise and possibly a loose or broken motor or transmission mount. Any thoughts would be great. |

Location: White Lake, MI | There are several things that could cause a clunk on a decel. If the clunk came from under your feet and was pretty metallic sounding, I would check the front sway bar links. If you feel the clunk is coming from the driveline, I would check the driveshaft u-joints and midship bearing. If the clunk was coming from the front axle area, you might check the ball-joints because the stock ones are not greasable and mine started to wear at about that same mileage. I put 145,000 miles on my 2000 and have 55,000 on my 2005. I replaced one front sway bar link and all four ball joints (only 1 was really bad) on the 2000 at about 80,000 miles. I've never heard of an engine or transmission mount problem in a Super Duty.

Location: Columbia, TN | my 99 would do that some time but it was one of those butterfly doors on duct work on the AC. It was just one big clunk. It would just do it once.
