    Actually mine is doing that too, but only when just very light throttle is applied (still slowing down). I have been waiting to see if it gets worse and turns into a real problem...

    Heh, mine is pretty loud when it does it, you would probably freak.

    FWIW it has been doing it for at least a year...might be a little louder now though.

    yupe mine too, I am experiencing VERY loud vibrations in the drive line after letting off the accelerator. I just assumed it was bad gear mesh in the Diff or the vast change in the angle of the axle shaft after lifting. It definitely got way worse when I put in the 2" spacers, so much so I am thinking of removing them

    Have you checked with the guys at Austin Drive Train? When I lived in Austin they did all my drive shaft work and I never had a minutes trouble with their work. Look them up, hopefully they are still in business. They were on 183 (or under if wou will) just before 183 meets IH35.
