u joints are good, what gears would do this?, rumbling between load and coasting

I have had exhuast parts to that when they weren't hung properly or damaged?  Gears usually roar but they could vibrate I guess.  Pull the cover if everything is ok then you can move on.

Could be a pinion bearing, carrier bearings and excesive backlash growl under load, pinion bearings will growl when you let of the throttle
