I have a 2021 and am occasionally hearing a loud click (metal) when I accelerate or brake. Going to go under the truck today to see if I can find anything loose.

I have a 2021 1500 and have the same sound as the OP had when going over bumps. My clunk comes from the right rear. I do not have air suspension. Any ideas on what else to look at? I've an oil change/tire rotation coming up , but wanted to see if I could figure it out
did you check your spair tire to see if it is completly up in its position and tight

Think I found the culprit. A loose sway bar link bolt from when I adjusted the hellwig bar. Will know in the morning on the way to work

It was the sway bar ball link. Much quieter now.

Hi, i just got delivery of my brand new Laramie 2022, with now 600 miles on the odometer it has now developed the "Clunk" behind the rear seats (mine is mostly on the passenger side of the truck), i believe that it will be the c pilar cab supports beneath the truck, i have seen a TSB around to fix that on earlier models, but i don't know if those are already updated on late 2022 models, @RamCares do you guys know if those supports are already updated on the 2022 models or if there is a TSB for my year? It is worth to know that my noise only happens on rough roads or when i hit a bump on the road at a regular speed.

Hey there @Carlosfox15

At this time, we don't see any TSB's for the 2022, however we can collect a little more information on your vehicle and get a case started for you regarding this. Would you mind sending us a direct message?
