Default don't know what's wrong?!?!?!!?

Hey guys my truck is making a vibrating noise from the back, now I just got the diff fixed but now it's making a vibrating sound when I let it coast.
When I accelerate it sounds normal but at certain speeds it reaches like 40km/h, and 80km/h when coasting it makes that noise and once I accelerate or brake the noise stops.

Any ideas what it is???
Thanks

How long has it been since the rear end rebuild? sounds like they did not set up the pinion depth correcctly. How is your backlash at the pinion yoke, you can put the truck in nuetral, chock the wheels and move you pinion yoke back and forth to see if you have a lot of backlash I am not 100% sure on the specs but somewhere between 8 and 12 thousandths should be OK
