I was in 4x4 the other day and rounded a bend, something up front made a clunk, now when I'm in 4x4 it shakes over 20km/h and makes a droning noise. I suspect its a u-joint... Any thoughts??

Check you front drive shaft.... Same thing happened to me. The double cardan joint in the drive shaft is getting bad.... Crawl under your truck and see how much side to side play is in the drive shaft. New drive shaft is around $260.00 depending on where you get it. 10 minute fix.....
