My friend....your differential is shelling out. Park it......tow it.... to your favorite mechanic, she gonna need some attention-NOW
You don't want to get stranded out in the sticks somewhere!

[dhill]

so you think its the diff? i went back there today and listened to it while my dad shifted it and it sounded like it could be coming from somewhere in the axle. what could be making the popping noise in the front?

[dhill]

anybody else have any ideas? i went mudding yesterday and it performed fine. never took it out of 2 wheel drive.

and i do hear a clank on accerlation and shifting.

Went back and read the entire thread. Feeling the clunk in the steering wheel would lead me to believe that the problem is in the front end. It could be the front differential. But when the front differential goes it is usually somewhat spectacular with fluid going all over the place. Have you checked the fluid level in the front differential?

Some of the symptoms you've described could be attributed to multiple issues in both the front and rear end. I still think the transmission mount should be your primary suspect.

okay i will get under there and look today. the front popping isnt an issue anymore. i just need to figure out whats going on in the rear.

[dhill]

i figuerd out that when i hit a pretty big bump i hear the clank in the back.

[dhill]

does anybody else have any ideas what it could be?

I had a bad motor mount that was making some chatter.....you wouldn't know it by looking underneath the truck . Replaced both of them and took care of that clank noise!
