Been noticing a loud clicking noise at slow speeds comming from the rear of the truck. The noise seems to caused by bumps in the road. I have a hard time getting it to click on smooth surfaces. Seems to quit when throttle is applied, brakes are applied, or going over 10 mph. Checked the u joints first assuming it was them. They are good. Spare tire is secure, axaust seems to be solid, and center caps on the wheels are tight. I'm thinking it's between the breaks and the rear diff. Any thoughts or advice on this one? Maybe someone has had a similar issue?
Possible parking break? Rotor looks like it's seen better days, but again this only happens when coasting at slow speeds.

Any thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Well if anyone is experiencing this same issue check the parking brake. The shoes were seperate from the metal and causing the noise I was hearing. Problem seems to be solved! d1972d87d0942072251529cc67a4ab84.jpg
