Front suspension makes a popping noise or klunk when starting from a stopped position. Wheels straight or turned doesn't matter. Only on starting or stopping. Really noticeable when roads are wet. Dealer mentioned could be sway bar. Supposedly fixed it but it's now back. No parts were changed. Anyone else and what was the solution?
50,000 miles but I have an extended warranty.

Sway bar link’s would make noise on all bumps not just stopping and starting. Sounds more like something is shifting. Since you have the 5th gen 2500 it’s still a 4th gen cab so the front cab mount could cause unintended sounds like that.

Not sure it is warranty item, check all bushings and shock mount. Usually an easy fix, upgrade to poly if you find it as poly is more permanent fix then rubber.
