possibly minor 4x4 problem?
in my 2000 blazer 4x4
when backing out of a parking spot, or the drive way, in 2 wheel high, once i get up to about 5 mph i will hear a loud deep thump. it only does this when im backing out, and doesn't always do it. it did it only once going forward, and it was at least twice as loud. its only when im accelerating. and it seems to happen most when its been sitting for a few hours. it almost sounds like i hit a garbage can or something. the sound comes from the dash, but i know its under the hood. i think my dad had it checked out and it was something in the 4x4. we've had this happen for a few years now and it hasn't caused any trouble, 4x4 works fine, no lights in dash come on, so we never really payed much attention to it. i was just curious why it happens. the truck has approx. 106k miles. anyone have a similar problem?

im gonna go along with bandidolenny on this one, this seems like a suspension problem not a 4x4 problem. id crawl under the truck and check everything out (cv's, balljoints,the whole works) and if ur not sure wat to look for take it to a shop to have it inspected they shouldnt charge much at all just to look at it.
