a few problems
Recently ive noticed that when turning at a slow speed i hear like a pop sound which i cant really tell where its coming from...but i hear it every once in a while when turning onto other streets and such.
Another problem i got lately was that whenever i start driving in the morning or after work when my engine is cold it will stall at either the first or second stop i make if i dont keep the rpms high. as soon as its warmed up its fine, but if it isnt completely warm the rpms fluctuate in drive when i make the first or second complete stop and sometimes it will stall.
Ive also noticed that when im braking as soon as im about to stop my front end makes a weird clanking sound. ill try to listen to it tomorrow and get more details about this one.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I changes the ball joints out twice already, when i first got the truck 3 years ago and again this year i had one go bad and i replaced both. The new ones i put in are greasable...should i grease them up? And as for the tps i put in a new one this year as well...with the tps it would do it at any speed especially while in park.

bad ball joints will definitely make a popping sound like you described, and thats most likely what you are hearing. I assume the ball joints you got have some sort of warranty, so you should be able to get them replaced. I think that moog is the preferred brand of ball joints around here

a couple of things i am noticing here, popping sounds are most commonly balljoints as have been said, you said you changed both of them (implying two joints got replaced, i assume the uppers) did you check/replace the lowers??? they are probably gone too if the uppers have been done that many times, check into it, IMO all 4 balljoints should be replaced at once bc if one is gone the rest are likely not far behind.
the stalling issue is most likely one of two things, weak battery, or a bad/dirty IAC, if it has started doing it recently (when the temperature dropped) i would say it is a weak battery, replace it now before it goes completely on you in a parking lot and you have no way to get home. (battery life on these rigs is usually 4 years or so not many last longer than that.
