I had a rattle and squeaking noise coming from what sounded like my driveshaft. It was loudest under acceleration and consistent speed. If I pushed in the clutch, it was much quieter even though the truck was still rolling. I replaced the carrier bearing this weekend and the squeaks went away. I had two minutes to feel good about myself when I opened the sliding rear window and heard this noise that I can only describe as a tinny rattle that sounds like a loose shield on farm machinery. Again, it's only under acceleration and consistent speed. If I push in the clutch, the noise disappears. The u-joints all felt solid when I replaced the bearing this weekend. I lifted the truck two months ago and only noticed the noises recently. From what I have read on other posts, this noise could be caused by driveshaft vibration due to the lift. The truck has 2.5" lift via AAL. It was not shimmmed. Would 3 degree shims cure this or does someone out there have other experiences/opinions.
