Default 2024 Ram clunk from rear of vehicle when going over bump(

My 2024 Ram when going over bump makes clunk from rear of vehicle (first noticed at 328 miles and still making same noise at 8000 miles). Took in for warranty work and 55plus hours of effort and 12 trips to dealer still not able to find noise. Could you make a suggestion as where else to look.

So here is what was removed and driven, and noise still there:

- tail gate

- bumper

- spare tire

- running boards

- trailer hitch

- rear bumper step

- bed/box

These items replaced and noise still there:

- sway bar

- shocks

- springs

- body mounts

Just had an update on the noise/clunk from my dealer.
Chrystler engineer was called in by dealer to resolve noise/clunk issue.
Engineer said noise/clunk was coming from non-factory 10ply tires on truck.
Replaced four10ply tires with 4ply tires (loaned) and noise was still there (same clunk with 10ply tires as 4ply tires when going over bump.
Still need some insight as to what might be causing noise/clunk.

Loose bolt, or, improperly torqued. Failed bushing, loose exhaust hangar, etc. Could be anything.

The engineer should be fired. Rubber tires do not clunk, unless they are flat.
