couple of noises.... ...that I am wondering about. yeah, I have a small constant thump thump thump below 20mph. Its almost like beating on a drum pretty fast.
Also when I barely have my foot on the gas (when I am going any speed) there is a constant vibrating/clunking/gargling(??) sound. I know that sounds funny but its really the only way I can describe it.
I will go out and put the camera in the back seat and see if that picks up the sound.

Let me know what you find out i'm having the same issue with the vibrating gear noise. Does yours get worse when you push in the clutch or coast in neutral? I think it might be the pinion yoke getting loose.

OK well, I made some vids you have to listen VERY carefully to hear them.
1st one is right at the beginning. Its really only at 15mph or less. (its the fast thump thump thump thump....)
2nd one you can really hear it at the end of the clip. (more of a groaning sound)
3rd one is the same sound as the second clip but I can't really hear it all that well. Maybe someone else can.
55K miles. It has a 3400 Fuddle. I just changed the rear end fluid (Mobil 75-90 non synthetic) It has the Torsen. IT came factory with 2.73s but the previous owner put 3.73s in. I am unsure of the brand though.
Thanks for all the help, I just changed the plugs and was feeling pretty good and now this. I'm just paranoid I need a new rearend or maybe my trans is goin - neither of which I have the $$ for.

so then I should pull the cover off and spin the wheels and look for one busted off?? I didn't want to do that right away since I 4 days ago I changned it. I figured I would ask on here first.

Well that would be a good way to tell. Or you could jack the rear tires off the ground and disconect the drive-shaft and spin it to see if you hear a thump, i bet it's probably a tooth.
