popping noise when pulling into driveway

[lungshot]

I've been told that shorter cab bolts would remedy this problem. What are they and can a novice mechanic replace them?

lungshot, take it to your dealer, its a technical service bulletin, it is under warranty and they will fix it, i think the tsb is called "cab pop" but i dont know the #.

I have a 2001 QC and I think my cab is popping also. What year is this service bulletin?
Thanks in advance

Alright guys i go these straight from alldata. There are 2 tsb's that sounded somewhat alike so you guys pick which one it is. The first one was issued in july of 99, it is popping sensation/noise in steering column, the second was issued in jan 00, it is popping noise during braking or while driving over bumps. The exact webpage is for 2000 dakotas is(thats the latest year they went to) is http://www.alldata.com/TSB/17/001725CY.html Hope this helps fellas!

I had a popping noise when turning in incline driveways, especially when making a sharp incline turn. The sound was loud sometimes, could be heard over my stereo with volume completely up. It ended up being the cab isolators, the dealer fixed it. Just my .02

Thanks everybody! I'll call the dealer even though my warranty has since expired (bought it used six months ago, its a '97). Hope they'll work with me...
