New symptom. Start up the truck , slow roll thru neighborhood up to first stop sign, just prior to complete stop feel a ?frontend "clunk". Does not repeat after first stop. Any ideas whatI'm experiencing ? Just noticed as the ambient temperature has started to cool. Thank you.Charles

I think I recall reading something about drive shaft needing grease? Maybe someone else will chime in that remembers....You might want to have the ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. checked too.

Upper or lower ball joints??? Sway bar endlinks??Swmpbgy1

I had a 2 wheel drive 2001 chevy that had some bumper stops on the front suspension that were made out of some kind or rubber/silicone. The suspension rode on these stops all the time. They did wear out and became noisy. Easy to see and check out.

Could be a lot of things; something in a calper, something in the front end, or driveshaft/u-joint issues. A good mechanic should be able to find the cause.
