Rearend problems

I am new to the site and am having some problems with my truck. When driving, from 1 mph to around 20-25 mph there is a clicking noise from the rearend, what could be causing this? It dosent effect th performance of the truck or the way it runs or drives, but it is really annoyin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have your u-joints checked. One of the first signs of them going is clicking.

I had the u-joints changed out about 2 months ago. And it did no good. I changed out teh rearend fluid as well but I didnt pull the entire cover off, could there be something wrong with the ring and pinion? bearings in hte rearend?

Can't say I have ever heard of ring and pinion clicking.

You state that you had the u-joints replaced not long ago. Did you install the greasable type? If so, did you install the angled grease/zerk fitting? If so, the fitting could be contacting the yoke/flange on every revolution if in the wrong position causing a clicking sound.
