Okay I need a little help.The rear-end is making some noises.When I put the truck in gear "Reverse" or "Drive" There is a clunk sound and there is a ticking-clicking sound at low speeds.Any Idea what this could be? I checked the rear-end fluid and adde some but it's still making noises.Any help would be welcome thanks.

Have you checked the u-joints and is the truck a posi trac truck

Maybe a u-joint to. Jack one wheel up, leave it in gear and rock the wheel back-n-forth. You should be able to see, feel where the slack is.

Ezra

Yeah it's a posi with 3.55 or 3.54 gears.Havent checked the u-joint yet

Sounds like a siezed cup on the u-joint. You won't find slack, but if you drop the shaft you will find one cup(or more) doesn't spin, which is the squeak-squeak-squeak noise at low speed.

Maybe check the clutches in the rear , "I don't know much about the posi's in these trucks, I'm cheap and I weld the rears"

Ezra

So how big of a deal is this? I'm not sure how to check the clutches.any advice? I might have a chance to check this out tomorow after work.But is this a serious problem or just an anoying noise?.

Ezra

Ok well I had a tech check it out at the dealership I work at,And it is just a busted u-joint.So I can breathe a huge sigh of relief.Thanks for all your input.
