I have one that may interest you. I have a d22 but had similar sound on 2 occasions. One was the spare wheel being loose under the car. The other was just fuel in the tank sloshing when I stopped and went again. I can't really think of anything else to be honest. maybe something loose in tub or behind the back seat.

Hey Rusty thanks for that im gona have a look but seems like it may be drivetrain clunk but its worth having a look its doing my head in bad

When.your driving if you back off then accelerate does it make the clunking noise. Could be diff backlash

springs/shackles maybee ?

My 07 D40 STX had a clunking noise. I got underneath and checked the uni's in the tailshaft. Found the rear uni was stuffed. As the tailshafts are alloy, the uni had chewed out the tailshaft and I had to get a complete new tailshaft.. You may have something completely different but something to look at.

I mite have to go under and have a look whats the tail shaft worth? i just hope its something small i can fix

The tailshaft is just over $2000.00 from memory. I got mine under warranty..

what $2000 for a tailshaft? spare part prices should be regulated, Car makers must make more from parks then new cale sales.

rear uni joint, $42

Need Help - Squeeling belts

I am having an probelm with noisy belts (squeeling) on my D40. Had it in and have the timing chain replaced (under warranty) then the belts replace - Same problem. Any ideas?

Would be far cheaper to have one made from steel .
I was going to suggest the spare wheel
You could jack up the back of the truck and chock the front wheels and have someone slowly trying first and reverse while you listen at the back
