    Rear end noise under acceleration…

    what is the mileage on the truck? around 135k - 140k the rear pinion bearing likes to start showing wear. if you place the truck in reverse or drive does she clunk at all? you can have someone rock the truck back and forth and watch the pinion shaft for movement and noise. good luck, brian!
