Dead stop. Hit gas moderately to hard, BANG BANG BANG like metal bolts are snapping clean off. It doesn't sound good. If i baby it off the stop it doesnt make any noise.
At no point does anything appear to be physically wrong. I can feel the clicking in general, but its not like its in the pedal or anything. Fairly sure its in the rear end, maybe broken brakes although I did a full brake job 3 years ago...
I've had this truck for over 100k miles, done all the work myself. Basically, the rear end is completely stock besides brake drums, shoes and hardware. And shocks.
About 4 years ago, I did a drain and fill on the rear diff. Added special limited slip compound.
I have been doing lots of research since I don't have access to a shop until saturday, but without even looking at I'm thinking it might be the limited slip clutch packs worn so bad that they make this noise. It appears to be a known issue with limited slip rear ends. Think I'm close?
