    Hello, my truck has been making a sort of tink noise that is very bothersome. It only happens at low speeds when the truck slows down rapidly or speeds up from a stop. I have not been able to locate exactly where its coming from because it only happens when driving. In the video attached here I am tapping the gas and letting off to replicate the noise. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I tried to have a friend drive while I looked underneath and it sounds like it is coming from near the carrier bearing area but I can not be sure. There is no play in the drive shafts and the carrier bearing seems to be in good condition. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I would crawl underneath the truck and possibly put it on jack stands. Feel for anything loose.
