humming/ vibration coming form the rear end
ok guys, "beast" is in trouble! i need to get this fixed ASAP b/c its my DD. so a few days ago i started hearing this humming/ vibration coming form my rear end from 60-65 mph, and it just seems to be getting worse and yesterday i started hearing some clicks and clacks coming from the rear right off of the take off, but not after ive got the truck moving. so, finally i stopped driving it because i dont want to leave my driveshaft on the freeway. so my question is, any idea if this is from one of the u-joints, the driveshaft, the output shaft bearings in my tranny (5speed manual), or worse case senerio, something in the rear pumpkin?
-thanks

ok, correction. the clicking sound seems to be coming from the front of the rear driveshaft. secondly, i did check for play in the driveshaft. it feels like its not coming form the u joints. i grabbed the front u joint with one hand and twisted the shaft back and forth with the other hand to feel for play, and same with the rear. there is some play in the rear but it feels like its in the diff. not in the u joint. ive heard that it could be the u joints even if theres no play in them..
