Has anyone had this problem:
1. no noise when accelerating
2. no noise while decelarating with foot off the pedal
3. lots of vibrating type noise while decelerating with slight pressure on the throttle pedal. its like the spot where you have no drag on the motor.
Hope that explains it enough. If I touch the gas or fully let off the pedal there is no noise. I'm thinking maybe drive line (ujoint)
Thank you in advance.

Just checked for play in the ujoints and shafts. Doesn't seem to be any free play. Could it be the heat shield problem others have had? Not sure what to check for on that one.

In that situation you tend to get a lot of crunchy/ratchet type noises from the rear end.

Could also be a rock on the skid, a bent skid plate, or a rock on the grooves around the engine mounts.
