I had a clunk going into driveways... Was my idler arm. But it definitely did it all the time. Soon as the right front rolled into a driveway, "clunk".

Weird. Several parts stores here turn them. $8 for rotors and $12 I think for drums? Or maybe the other way. The brakes is a good thought, though. Or a rock stuck in there..

I thought about this because mine was doing it this morning as it warmed up for a minute. Is your grille broken or loose? Mine hit something years ago, bent the bumper and broke the tabs that hold...

Did you try adjusting it to achieve continuity at closed throttle? If it's your first time playing with these, they can be rotated 10-15 degrees or so (heck, I don't know, just a guess) to get the...

Does it do it when the wheels are turned to the lock, or nearly to the lock? Left/right? Steering stops, if so. Although that's usually more noticeable than "paper through fan sound"!

Check plugs n wires, then, I know you said you didn't want to risk taking the valve cover off, but you kind of have to, to check valve clearances. Sounds like a slight miss at idle. If you're hearing...

Go out to your truck, with wheels straight ahead, and push up and down on the relay/tie rod end of idler. If it moves at all, it's bushing time.

Good to hear it's improved. I was beat after a 12 hr shift, so was hoping I made sense. These engines HATE un-metered air. Probably because the ECU is at its full capacity running the engine in stock...
