Deceleration Noise and Vibration

Started getting a noticeable increase in what appears to be exhaust brake drone and some vibration as truck comes to a stop. Truck runs OK and the noise and vibration only occurs when decelerating.
I removed the EGR crossover tube and it was clean , also just had the EGR valve pulled and cleaned , and while it might be a bit better the problem is still there. There are no codes , not even in memory.
Anyone had similar problem? Truck is scheduled into the dealer Friday but I'm not looking forward to it.

Possibly a bad u-joint?? I know my '03 would shake the dash while coming to a stop...all 3 rear joints were completely locked up with less than 30k miles on them. Not sure if the newer trucks are still having u-joint issues or not.

I did think maybe U- joints but that's not it. Thanks.
I'm thinking problem with exhaust brake or maybe turbo causing a back pressure.

Turns out the problem was a bad rear driveshaft, would not have thought that would go bad in 86m miles.
