My truck is a 2010 4X4 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series with a four speed transmission and 4.8 liter engine. In 2 wheel drive, the right rear wheel will drag or like it skips and will shake or vibrate the truck. You can see this skip in the new fresh snow. This happens intermitting can happen on right or left turn. Allan
If you have a limited slip differential or a diff locker in action , that is what will happen if the unit is locked up
if you do not have anything but a normal diff, it indicates gear failure and the side gears ( spider gears ) have metal in the teeth and are jammed

well i had the same problem everyone told me the clutches in the rearend were sticking making it stick in positive traction (only your passanger side rear wheel pulls unless you start spinning then a type of clutch engages the other side so you have traction then when you stop spinning it disengages it should never be engaged if your on pavment) now you can do what i did listen to everyone when they tell you its normal or you can take it to someone with experience now and save yourself some money cause it will start popping then it will get some viberation then next it will break the clutches and when that happens you will have to replace the pinion,ring,and the spider gears as well as the clutches.make sure you have pleanty oil in rearend if you dont add the limited slip conditioner it might free clutches up but if i had it to do over id put it in the shop or stop driving it before i broke something hope this helped

Check the fluid in the the axle. Also make sure the brake isn't locking up. You might want to take the axle gear cover off and see if the "C" clip came off or is broken on the gear assembly. Almost sounds like the differentials is locking up.
SOURCE: 1998 Silverado 1500 Rear End Howl/Leak/Clunk/Vibration Pinion
A pinion seal leaks for one or boyh of these reasons. A worn pinion bearing or a driveshaft vibration, Sounds as though you have both. Do not confuse tire howl with gear howl, be sure.The rear end can run 3 to 500.00 if not more. Ck the gear oil in the rearend for metal content. That will tell you alot. The hard shifting is generally from a sticky spool in the trans valve body. Have the trans serviced w/new oil and filter. The new oil often cleans the moving parts of gum and varnish buildup.in the valve body. One more thing, the rear ends take a special oil and additive if it's a limited slip or posi lock. You will have a popping/binding noise when turning if the wrong lube is install. Have your driveshaft aligned and balanced at at driveshaft shop.or you will end up tearing up the tailshaft on the trans. Good Luck

If it sounds like a bird chirping, replace the universal joints.
