Welcome to DF
Yes I have seen this problem. Do you know what type of rear end you have on your truck? One is a LSD and the other is an open rear diff. If you have a open rear diff, the sprider gears maybe broken and causing your noise.

Im pretty sure its on open diff, it spins both tires. Is this repairable or do i need to swap out the rear end? thank you.

It can be repaired. You just need to remove the rear diff inspection cover and take a look inside.
