please help i have a few questions
ok first thing is i have a 99 f150 4x4 with 4.6 with around 96k on it. well it just started tonight when im going id say between 20 and 30 mph and i tap the gas i get a clunk and when i let off the gas i get a clunk you can hear it and feel it. now i replaced my rearend about 6 months ago with one from a boneyard as i had broke the carrier in half in my old one pulling into my driveway. also this has been bothering me for awhile now when i drive between say 60 and 75 it get a pretty bad viberation but like 1 second after i let off the gas it goes away? totally puzzling to me cause im still going just as fast and everything is spinning but no vibes. and two more questions. if i excelerate hard i get a clunk clunk clunk clunk noise from the rear end. and finally when backing up mainly i think or maybe even going slow in drive i get a squeak squeak squeak but it goes away after i get to about 20 mph.... please anyone with any answers or thoughts to my problems please help. i listed them all in hopes that maybe some or all of them are related. oh yeah also i get that little studder step inbetween 1st and second gear. i need to get it fixed soon and im really strapped on time working 7 days a week and going to school so any help as to where i could start looking or what to start replacing would be grately appreciated.
thanks

Check your U-Joints... that's what it sounds like to me. Do it quickly, I might add, since given the symptoms, it sounds like at least one of them could be severely worn, and if it gives up, you could be in serious trouble.
found one problem
i took the drive shaft out tonight and the rear u joint where it goes into the drive shaft part had a big chunk missing out of the ring and is kinda flared out. not sure how it happened but it looks like its been that way for awhile. i got school tommorrow night so wednesday its off to the bone yard for a new ds.
