Alright, when I put it in reverse a clunking noise can be heard and felt only when an appropriate amount of throttle is applied. When i back out super slow and easy there is no noise. I've replaced both mounts as well as my transmision mount. Would being in reverse cause the motor to torque opposite of when in 1st, 2nd ect? Let me know what you think!!

Where is the noise coming from? Have you checked the u-joints?

The u joints have less than 10000 miles on them but i really dont think thats the problem. I just replaced the old mounts with poly and the only thing i can think of is that i didn't torque the bolts down enough. Does anyone know the ft lbs specs on them?

Shoot man, i was refering to the motor mount ft lbs. I'm stumped so far.

Make sure that the two bolts / nuts that secure the torque arm to the differential case are tight. If I recall I think they should be at ~ 90 ft/lbs.
