just a guess, broken gears? I'd wait for the experts to chime in though. Is it just me, or are a lot of people have rear end problems lately?

Is it coming from the rear end of the drive shaft (U joints)

Try to find out if it's under deleleration only. Try to see if it's there under light-to-no loads. Also, try to determine if it's a one-to-one thump with the rotation of the tires. Or faster....

If it's definately there under deleration only, I's say u-joints or the ring and pinion.

Its definetly under deacelleration only.
the thumping noise is relative to the speed too.
High mph deaccelerating = more thumps.
