Getting slack between throttle and movement

Its kind of a clunk noise. I have BTS trans with 220k on it with regular fluid changes. Currently using Royal Purple ATF. Truck has 310k on it with no rearend work or universal joint replacements other than that middle drive shaft support dealybob. To avoid clunk takeoff, I have to ease on pedal which I do. My guess is to check rearend first and maybe replace u-joints since they most likely need it. Anything about TC or Trans, I have no idea.

I have about the same problem!!! Mine feels like theres something in the bed and when I take off from a stop it feels like what ever is in the bed slides back and hits the tailgate, but there nothing in the bed of coarse. It gets worse as the temps come up in the trans. I've never got over 170 deg though. Ben
