Clunck Sound (Shifting out of 4WL)

[climber1872000]

Hi All - I have been using 4WH lately as we have had a lot of snow over the past 3 weeks. Over noticed lately that every time I
I park, put the truck in neutral, and shift the truck back to 2WD it makes a loud thud sound that can be felt. I've noticed this is my 2018 but only when I was not fully stopped. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah - that is not unusual.

If there is any front axle binding from when it was in 4WD it will clunk as it disengages the transfer case. Sometimes it helps to drive a short distance with the wheels straight before stopping and moving out of 4WD. Being stopped can help too, but not always.

It’s normal, but can be done clunk free. Drive straight, briefly let off the gas at the same time as switching into or out of 4H for clunk free operation. 4L try to keep the wheels straight.

Agree it's normal. MT-Taco has the solution pegged IMO.
