lots of problems

[Screech 96 EB]

I mannaged to twist the rear u joint on rear drive shaft and i think that it is causing the horrible clunk/bang it has devolped. Its so bad it shakes the whole truck. Another thing is when i let the truck coast down form 50mph or more it sounds like a really fast clicking noise like a pull back car when you wind it up to fast. I have no idea what is causing that one. The fluid level is fine and is still nice and red. I dont want to drive it anywhere because Im afraid that it will get worse than it allready is. I really need some help with this one I just started a new job and it is like 20mi from my house and i have to drive to school and thats like 25mi away.

you need a mechanic; the forum can only take you so far. you're past that it sounds like. go to a shop.

Well first things first - since you already know the u-joint on the driveshaft is dead, go ahead and replace it. The joint itself is usually between $15 and $20 at your local auto parts store (Napa, Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc..). If you've never done U-joints before, do a Search on the forum and I'm sure you will uncover a boat-load of info.
