I guess dodge could hear it to.

Front and/or rear shock absorber noise.
The customer may experience a clunking-like sound when traveling over small inputs (bumps and dips) in the road. This clunk-like sound is sometimes described as being similar to the sound that “loose lumber” may make when loose boards strike each other. This condition is more noticeable during cold ambient conditions below 40°F and at lower vehicle speeds when background noise is less. The sound may come from the front and/or rear shock absorbers.

This condition is due to internal components within the vehicle shock absorber and the bulletin describes the replacement procedure.

4500/5500 only TSB# 02-003-08



This drives me nuts, finally dodge released a TSB, I can't wait to go to the dealer.

I hear that clunk as well, not in a truck but in the American auto industry.

Well, at least I can stop looking for that loose lumber in the bed of the '05 now...

a TSB means the dealer will look at it?

TSB means that it is a common problem and is telling the techs what to look for and how to fix the problem. However it is not a recall by any means. You can take a copy of the TSB in and have them check it. I have done that before.

^^^Basically what he said, if your vehicle has this problem you print it out and give it to them and they do the work to resolve it. It fixes a oops in the vehicle design without the mass(expensive) scale of a recall.

My 2004 3500 has this same sound....but you say it is only for 4500/5500
