If you use the 4 x 4 u joints, there are zerk fittings so they can be greased in the future.

There's no way for anyone to internet diagnose a noise without hearing it. It's hard enough to do it with a video.

How about the exhaust heat shields under the truck? They could be slightly bent and rubs when the system vibrates under load.

Maybe a bolt is not completely seated on the crossmember or transmission mount. Do you get just noise or a ton of vibration as well?

I would also check the heat shields that are bolted to the bottom of the cab.

Carrier Bearing?


When I did my trans I had a weird noise only under hard acceleration. Turns out the carrier bearing mounting bracket is slightly off center so It had to be flipped around and the noise stopped.
