easy to fix.......never let off the throttle

you need to determine if its comming from the motor, tranny of drivetrain......................try messing with it letting off and popping it into nutral and stuff like that

remem ber when your rear end went out? when you let off the throttle it did it to, its changing pinion angles from axle wrap, same thing that happened when i rebuilt your rear end, look at youru-bolts to see if there tight
