Default Issues when in reverse

Hey guys, im new here, i just bought my truck a few weeks ago and when im on grass or a gravel road or any terrain like that, and i put it in reverse, it makes this loud noise, almost like a creeking noise but metal on metal sounding. If anyone could give me some advice that would be great because i still have about 2 months left on the warranty.

Thanks

Start with the obvious first, pull the differential cover and inspect everything. Then check the brakes and e-brake

The differential just got serviced at the 30,000 mile mark, maybe they messed something up?

Definitely possible. Certainly sounds like a diff problem to me. I would do as weed suggests and take a look at the diff. Where'd you get it serviced?

Agreed, something could have happened at 30,100 for all we know.
