We have a driveshaft disconnect on our 2012 Nissan Frontier. It was put on 37,000 miles ago. We had an issue with a broken cable, but nothing else. The other day, we were driving the truck. ...

Driveshaft is actually tubing, and fairly thin wall at that. So anything hard that jars it will create a Ping not a Clank. We bought a Frontier with manual transmission to avoid a Disconnect/Lube Pump scenario. Not even 4x4 Frontiers with automatic are towable since there's no Neutral in the Transfer Case.
Cleanup/Tuneup should solve it. A lot of the problems also seem to be the Cable. Either sticky or installed with a kink or tight bend.
I've always thought that if I wanted a Drive Shaft Disconnect, I would first buy a junkyard driveshaft. Have IT tuned up by a driveshaft shop and the disconnect installed in it. Keep my original for resale or a rainy day.
