Remember that you only changed some of the fluid so there's still old stuff in there.

You could do another change and get closer to a complete flush. Maybe that'd help the thunk issue more.

BTW: on the diesels, is the catalytic converter right near the fill plug so you have the opportunity to almost burn your hand off as you pump in the new fluid w/the engine running? That was fun when I did my 4.4.
