I recommend turning off your CAPS LOCK. People tend to ignore messages typed in ALL CAPS.

Hi all,
 
I have had my 1990 5.7L Blazer for 17 years and I finally need to change the motor. I am considering trying to convert it to a diesel. Any pointers or show stoppers?

HELP!!!! clunk in front end HELP!!!!!!! by gmck9
May 03, 2008 (4:23 am)

I just bought a 2001 gmc jimmy. Has 100,000 miles. Bought it thinking the clunk was the ball joints or a loose/worn out shock. NOPE!!!! Replaced the ball joints with "Moog" brand. The clunk is only there when you go over bumps that resemble something like going over a set of train tracks. The truck has been to (3) GMC dealers, and (3) high end mechanic shops. NO one can figure out where the clunk is comming from. Trust me.... this thing has been pried, rocked, shook, climbed over, and under, and every part has been grabbed and shook to see what is loose or out of place. NOTHING!!!!!!!! However everyone says that as bad as the clunk is... we should be able to see the damage of what is broken....but we cant find it.....
PLEASE can anyone give some advice of where to look? Could there be a spacer or rubber bushing that is still in place, but worn out? I dont just want to start ripping stuff apart "hoping" it does the trick.

With that many miles the idler arm should have been changed by now. When worn, it makes a really loud clunk going over bumps. My favorite test is to find a road with the little reflector "bumps" down the stripe. Drive down the stripe with the wheels hitting the little bumps and a worn idler arm will really sound off. It doesn't take a lot of play in an idler to create a loud clunk. The driver can usually feel it in the steering wheel also.
 
About a $50 part, takes about 20 minutes to install, will need a puller to separate the center link from the idler.
