Is there any vibrations while driving, certain speeds, noise from the rear. Have someone else drive and sit over the axle (unless its the front 
) and listen for noise.

I know its an old thread but ive heard people say the same thing. Now that I have a few more years under my belt of working on rigs.
It was my fault. I was buying u joints that were pre greased. Than greasing them which out way to much in and once it got warm it was popping the caps off.
Maybe thatll help someone else making the same mistake
