You will hate this, is why most get to sale yards
The joint from Fiberglass sections to Steel is Epoxy Glued. Last one I found in 96 we had a Altec tech come in to verify, he did as to that epoxy joint was failed. Four High Dollar Lincoln hand pump grease guns and a box full of Altec special recipe epoxy with sixteen grease zerks, that at every coupled connection(3 times), we hand refilled the joint until the guns locked up as epoxy set up. And yes they got really warm holding them. Truck went on for three more years then went to sale yard.
I did ask, tech was not sure store bought epoxy would be qualified by the company.
If is popping pretty loud and consistent, stop use. This IS a safety concern.
