Sounds like it may have a bad pinion bearing.

pull the driveshaft off the axle pinion then see if the pinion wiggles any. It could just be a nuked U-joint. If its not just the u-joint, get a 1 1/4" socket and set you torque wrench to 85lb ft. Youll need someone to stand on the brakes for you and then tighten it back up. I have done this to my truck a few times, nothing to worry about there... :lol:
