Front or rear? If front, a quick mitigation might be to exchange with a rear jack (if interchangeable). It won't fix anything, but take away some load from the clunking jack.
Could be a kink in the threaded rod, or a worn cog in the gear drive, or...
Sounds like disassembly / rebuild will be needed. You might try to lubricate first and see if it gets any better. But I have no idea how any of that is done in an Atwood jack.
Danke Joerg.
That's a good idea, however, it's all of them, so far as I can tell. I do suspect it's a piece of a gear tooth has come off. It has a regularly timed pattern like a metronome. I'm weary of taking them apart or off for fear of them not going together again. But Mrs. wants to go camping and wants to be able to take it off when there to tour around. Adding extra excitement is that "there" is out in the booney's.
Her reality of the potential of not getting it back on the truck is very different then mine..... :h
And the TC is so old and close to being tote, new jacks would be more then the thing is worth, likely.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
