Not so fast about that one...Mine does that when going over speed bumps, and almost constantly when driving rough dirt roads.
Mine does the same but it’s a metallic clank, not a ringing spring sound. It’s currently at the dealership for the 12k service and this is on the list. After they get their shot, I’ll go for a few max flex drives and reassess in my (new) garage.

Is it the factory steering stabilizer bell housing noise?
No it's not the steering stabilizer, nor the jack. I had both of those issues and that's a ringing bell sound or "tinkle-tinkle" sound.
The springs are well broken-in. The boinging noise did not start in the first 6 months of ownership and the truck has been driven both on and off road. The springs have been thoroughly cycled.

My guess is the heat shielding, but everthing seems tight. I'm hoping it will just go away! Yea...right

It's annoying and embarrassing when you have to explain what that noise is to passengers. A few other people have reported a similar sound on this forum. I can't figure out what is vibrating...nothing seems loose. I will live with it until my first service. Hopefully others will have reported this issue to the service manager, but I doubt it. If it happed to you, you'd hate it too.
SOUNDS JUST LIKE THIS:

That is exactly what it sounds like. It was so bad I had to pull over and continues to happen when going over bumps. No way that is normal.

Where do I begin? Water in car that is now frozen and clunks around at every turn or bump. When you wash the car and open the door its like a bucket of water being poured on you. When you go over a bump the car makes a noise like a spring is bouncing back and forth. The passenger air bag is constantly off. The remaining fuel mileage no longer present and can have a half of tank of gas and says refuel now. The door handles get stuck so you can not shut the door at times or open as the button does not move. Took 3 weeks to get scheduled at dealer in area and they stated they only have a couple of mechanics because they are a new dealership. Hoping that these items get fixed on one visit, but do not have a lot of confidence. Anyone have any of these issues?
Hi, I have the same issue of what sounds like water sloshing around in the rear of the car when turning and now frozen which is making lots of clunks - have you got to the bottom of this !? Many thanks.

@7jjm Read this thread about water in the sills.

I don’t know if this will help anyone but after I took delivery of my vehicle for about the first couple of weeks I had a springy/boing/dull thud like noise as if something was hitting the underside of the rear cargo floor. It was driving me nuts but I traced it down to the plastic canister I believe is part of the fuel emissions evaporative system. It’s mounted with three bolts right underneath the rear cargo area above the big exhaust heat shield on the left side of the chassis as you look forward facing the rear of the vehicle.

It was kind of a pain to get to but I found that the three bolts going through the rubber mounts holding the canister in place were only finger tight and the whole unit could easily bounce up and down. The noise would occur on a sharp bump when both rear wheels hit at the same time like a seam in the road or change in pavement height. The canister has some weight/mass to it so when it can bounce around on it’s own it made noise.

You don’t have to dismantle things as far as I did in the picture below. You should be able to reach the three bolts and snug them up with a standard wrench and socket combination with extension from underneath the vehicle. Since snugging up the bolts the canister is held firmly in its mounts and the noise is completely gone. I guess someone on the production line forgot or took a break and missed tightening them up?

It’s hard to see in the picture but I circled the canister in red.

My truck had a cracking sound up front shortly after delivery. Sounded horrible, but it was the same sound over and over again so it wasn't something literally cracking. It was very clearly in the front axle. I tried sorting it out for many miles. It happened when hitting speed bumps or humps and similar situations off-road. I was getting tired of hearing it one day while driving out to a blind on a muddy track and kinda hammered the throttle and hit a small eroded section and heard the crack/clunk and then nothing. Sweet sweet nothing!!!! The noise has not come back and nothing appears to be damaged or out of place. I'm curious if it was something in the Double Cardan axle shaft that was never properly seated or..... But it has made life with the other niggles so much better. Had been dealing with that noise for about 9,000miles.
