    Can't help you with the pooping noise haha, that's more of a doctor issue.

    But for the popping, being a '21 I'd say if you're still under warranty I'd have a dealer take a look if it's feasible for you to do so.

    Could be a million things. Loose caliper, prematurely worn suspension parts, ball joints etc. Odd on a truck so new though.

    Have the brakes had any service at all recently? Certainly sounds caliper related to me.

    My truck hasn't even made a farting noise, much less a pooping noise.

    Yeah.
    The front brakes have "floating" brake pads that can move up and down a little. When you brake going forward, they are pushed up. When you brake going in reverse, they get pushed back down and you may hear a noise -most typically when you pull out of your driveway. If you hold the brakes and turn the steering wheel, this may move them as well.

    If it only does it the first time you are backing up , turning then changing direction of each drive cycle it could be the ABS self test , mine does it when I back out of the garage and do a sort of half k turn to head out my driveway

    Damn, that's a unique issue for sure. Not sure the dealer would want to help you either.

    If I could make it do that on command it would cut down on the fools parking too close to me.
