OK ive only had this truck for half a year i bought it used it seemed like a really solid vehicle BUT one day i heard a reallllly bad wine/grinding from the back end of the car. It only happens when i let off the gas at 40mph and above and to get it to stop doing it I have to put it in neutral or step back on the gas.
