Just wondering what it could be. When I put it in reverse, it makes a moaning sound. And I already changed the fluid and fliter. Doesn't do it in any other gear, just reverse. So anyone know why it does that?

mine does that too, it clunks when I shift directions, might be a U joint, but im pretty sure mine are solid, gonna have it looked at when I do the 100K service. I dont think its anything major seeing as my reg cab did the exact same thing.

i had the same problem with mine then my reverse went out and it started to not shift properly i think its the rear band that is shot once they go out they wear down the clutch alot and the clutch wont last long, its already to late for me id go get it checked out if i was yall i wish i would have, but its ok my motor and tranny has 59k original miles on it so when i get the chance im goin to a pick-n-pull and gettin me a nv3500 5 speed tranny, boom problem solved!

This is the trans mount. It causes the truck to drop like that. It can cause vibration and odd sounds. Easy way to check is to drop it in to park and then with the brake applied drop it in to reverse. Then from reverse to drive.... If the truck makes a big kr-plunk sound and a noticeable "drop" is felt it is the trans mount. Ease to fix put the jack under the trans jack it up a bit unbolt and remove.. slide the new one in tighten down and drive away. they run about 20 buck at any auto part store. It will make a huge difference in road feel!
