I paid 25k for this 2006 gmc sierra truck with 8600 miles, purchased from texan cheverolet in humble, tx july 4th 2006. Noticed it about 6k to 7k miles. Clunk noise driverside under hood. Notice noise while backing out, going over small bumps or in transit at a slow speed. Also noticed a clunk coming from the rear of the truck when accelerating from a stop and then stopping. Was reading up on it an came to the conclusion that it's probably my slip/yoke needs to be replaced.
