Rear end pop

[Meyster89]

SOMETIMES while turning in reverse or drive, the rear end will make a slight pop noise. To my understanding it has 3.08 gears. It doesn't affect the truck while driving or anything, but I like to fix things before it breaks more stuff. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.

Also, with my brakes. It's been a rainy day here in Florida and I went to DQ to get lunch. While in the drive through waiting forEVER to get to the window, I would creep little by little getting closer and closer. I would apply brakes like normal but it seemed the back was locking up. Well, it was. Really slow speed lock up of rear brakes. Once on the road and coming up to stop lights, it was fine.. Any idea?? Thanks!

I've got nothing on the popping sound, but the braking thing seems to be common on these trucks. It's been mentioned in threads on here before. Mine does it too, but usually only after it's been sitting for a while (like a day or two at least). Once I pull out of the driveway and get up some speed, it doesn't do it any more.

After a few days of searching and everything, it sounds like it could be caused by axle seals going bad. Either way, not too worried on the brakes, at least it's stopping!!

Still want to get the popping noise figured out. It's nothing CRAZY but I want to figure it out before It gets worse or whatever. It's when turning at slow speeds, So not sure if spider gears? pinion? Idk...
