I just took the entire driveshaft out and changed my u joints right away as well, it easier to work on a work bench then fighting under the truck to get stuff into place.
I dropped the driveshaft yesterday. All of the u-joints are tight and smooth moving - the carrier bearing feels good as well. It turns around the driveshaft smoothly with no lateral movement.
While it was out, I greased the slip spline and got rid of the thud when taking off from a stop.
One thing fixed, but the rattle is still there...

Its been a good weekend. I finished the gauge install, and then went for round five to try to find the source of the rattle.
While under there I found a black widow spider (or she found me) as she came after me. I had seen webs, but it was a bigger spider than I expected.
After killing her, I went to find the rattle.
I finally found it. It was the brackets holding the air bags to the rear springs. Why I didn't find the source earlier was because the bolts were tight. What they did was install the air bags over the stock overload springs. Then they inserted a bracket under the overload and then secured it with brackets under the main leafs. The brackets between the main leafs and the overloads could move just enough to rattle.
Well I feel better and the truck is nice and quiet.
Thanks for all the help.

i'm going out on a limb here but if you have bags in the back of youe truck do you happen to have a sway bar back there to cause i an 04 ps and i have what reads to be the same tink as you have but mine was in the front changed the bushings and poof gone not sure if you have one but i'm trying for you
My rattle only happens between 100 KPH and 110 KPH - or a large bump - it seems like it comes from the passenger side of the cab at the rear too. Looks like an hour or two on the creeper for me - trouble is - I get dizzy when I do that - almost to the point of upchucking. ANyway - I at least I now know where to look !!!

I had the same problem. It would rattle when I would go over a hump. I was using a hammer to tap thing to see if I could find the rattle. I hit the leaf spring with a hammer and my lower leaf was broken and half of it fell out. Doing a visual I could not see any break. It was unloading when I went over a hump and would make the sound. Well off the the salvage yard tomorrow.
