Popping when put into reverse

If i throw the truck into reverse and give it some gas to get going quickly there is a popping sound which dosent sound good, its not too loud, but noticable. if i put it in reverse and sit still for a couple seconds then go in reverse it does not make the popping sound.

any idea what this is? and if its coming from the tranny or the rear end?

thanks

your more of a man than me if you can throw it in reverse...and if your using gas, that might have something to do with it

haha j/k buddy!

i need to get down that way pretty soon and maybe i can take a listen from the outside and see if i can tell the area!

you said u just take it over the curb to the sidewalk! i try to keep it in the street.

i dunno it just did it when i put it into reverse to back in to my driveway, if i would have waited a couple secs after i put it into reverse to give it gas it would not have made the noise.
