My dealer just looked at mine today, for same problem you mention. I drove it 35 miles there, and not a peep. And yes, it was very cold, around -10 when my clunk occurred, along with ice and snow on the road. The dealer and I just chalked it up to ice. It was up to 43 today when I went to the dealer, so obviously, the ice was gone, as well as the clunk.
Left front corner?

You're welcome. I've had this truck through 4 winters now, and this is the first time this ever happened. Might not ever happen again.
The first winter I had it, I got so much snow/ice built up around the trans linkage, I had trouble shifting it.But that was after 35 miles in some pretty heavy slush that froze.
