Diesel 2500 when we come to a complete stop there is a delayed clunk in the rear of the truck. Sometimes when we take off it does it too. Just had new rotors and brakes replaced in the rear thinking that was the problem. Any suggestions?

The problem is in the axle and differential. THe clunk or kick in the **** you feel is the axle spinning down at stop. The gears are what is making the clunking noise. When you release the brake and begin to accelerate teh gears have free play in them and the clunk then is when the two gears actually make contact. You might notice that when you first start your acceleration there is not an immediate response. Meaning the RPM's go up a tad before you actually start to move. Check the lubrication in the axle shaft and the differential. You can do this through a screw hole (plug) located on the differential. Its called the finger test. Stick in your pinky and it shoudl come back covered in grease adn oil. (please do this with vehicle off and on level ground, etc BE SAFE) If possible it should really have the differential cover removed and checked for metal shavings indicating abnormal gear wear or adjustment. If you are not a handy mechanic or have the ability to do this with the truck on a rack, its best handled by a qualified service location. You didnt indicate the manufacturer, but GM's are famous for this and some Fords are too.. but GM's more so. Good luck. P.S. if it were the brakes you would hear the clunk when you applied them but not when you released them.

Clunk under car on acceleration, but goes away after first initial clunk.

I would check the spark plugs and wires or coil packs. Sounds like the ignition system is arcing.

I have noticed a clunk type noise/feel in the rear end after taking off from a stop. Tonight a really bad grinding/clunking sound both in drive and reverse, ion gear or neutral. I've been reading...

if the diff is not leaking oil there should be no reason to be low. If you hear a noise in neutral with the truck not moving, its not in the rear end. it may be the trans or transfer case.

I changed out one of my injectors and now my truck won't start it just cranks over

What engine? Is this the diesel? If so, then you've got to work the air out of the lines introduced when changing the injector. If not diesel, then please re-post with complete information, including if check engine light is on with any codes present.

1992 Chev 2500 Turbo Diesel Seems to slip and takes a long time to shift. however when taking off from a stop seems to grab good even in 4x4

have your local dealer check the throttle position sensor on the injector pump..most likely bad sensor causing delayed shifts
