Consider yourself fortunate. The next time you have your hitch out of the truck, take one of the "swing arm, locking bolt, puck" assemblies apart and fit the puck into the oval hole in your bed. You'll see that it slides fore/aft about 1/8". That "SLOP" is what is causing my "chunk".... CURT has yet to give me any information on how to fix it or how to adjust it out of the hitch "play".

I've replaced the entire locking bolt/puck parts 3 times now, all with exactly the same results: "CHUNK" with acceleration and "CHUNK" with braking. The only way I've found to eliminate it is to install the hitch, pull the spring pin, tighten the nuts with a wrench, reinsert the spring pin and hitch the trailer. If I leave the swing arms loose enough to lock them by hand, "CHUNK".....
