Could be u-joints or just the ring and pinion hitting each other when force is applied in the opposite direction. Mine does it to, most trucks do.

my u-joints seem solid when i turn the drive shaft on flat ground in neutral...so i dont think thats my worry. should i worry about getting the ring and pinion checked out? or is it not a serious problem. cuz i dont really want my rear end to go because i HATE swaping them out...plus out here in CT they are impossible to find. my buddy just recently blew his. $1000 for a new one in RI. and i dont have that kinda cash to toss on a new rear

Bad motor mounts huh? I kinda disagree with that

You could get it checked out, but if anything they'll probably say to replce it, especially if you take it to a dealer
