I am pretty sure that I have this on my brand new '08 4x4 that I picked up on June 1. I don't actually HEAR any clunking noise at all, but I can FEEL it.
If I come to a red light, or stop sign, and come to a complete stop, then give it gas to get going again, I feel a sort of lag, or "engagement" sensation when I first give it gas. It feels like the rear diff has some "slack" in the gearing, and the wheels don't get going at the same time that the driveshaft is going. That is the best way that I can explain it. I can also say that it does this all the time in a situation like I explained above. I do NOT get this sensation after the truck gets moving (other people have reported feeling this when the truck goes into overdrive).
I hope that helps.
