So apparently part of my problem was the exhaust. Had a shop run my flowmaster cat back exhaust and either bent one if the pipes or the kit itself had a bent pipe. It sometimes will somehow rub against the heat shield at the spare tire, so gotta fix that yet. They did finally replace the leaf springs. That has seem to fix the majority of my issue. Like i said still gotta fix the exhaust but new leaf springs did help. Now its no telling how long they will last.

just a update. let the truck sit a week. my wife and I work for the same company so we just drive her 2014 rav4 5 days a week since we are in the same building. Got home Thursday evening and was gonna go to the store and hopped in my trailboss. As soon as I put it in drive and started rolling heard popping clicking noise from rear end. Took it to the dealership that night and dropped it off. They looked at it and have ordered me new leaf springs and shackles but they are on national backorder. So no telling when they will be in. I asked the service writer on a percentage basis how much did the mechanic think it will fix the issue and if has something to do with the slip yoke like he said it could be. The mechanic is 95% sure this will fix my issue and they don't believeit's the slip yoke. So we'll see if it fixes it. Kinda shitty that a truck that only 26000 miles on it has to have new leaf springs and shackles. Gonna be pissed if I still hear the noise and it turns out to be the slip yoke. My wife has horses and she shows them sometimes and don't want my truck to break while hauling them around. Told them if that happens somebody is getting a ear full and they are replacing everything that ****s up if the slip yoke fails.

no they didn't, the service guy did do a little chuckle when he was talking about it so I'd guess it pretty well know. so that two major problems my truck has in my eyes. my radio also goes full volume randomly going down the road. no fix for that issue either and it's done it since the first day I got it. They also know about that

I just got back from a trip to the smokey mountains. it was easier to back my truck the driveway than do a 80 point turn. Heard a rubbing/grinding noise coming from rear end while backing the truck up. It also sounded like the u-joints where going out really bad. Took it to the dealership yesterday morning, couldn't get the noise to happen. I had my wife record the noise and had it on video while we were there. Went back up to the dealership this morning and showed them the video. Come to find out they are having problems with the slip yoke and leaf spring. Greased up everything and told to keep a eye one it. If it comes back with probably have to replace the slip yoke. I'll add the video it probably won't be good quality cause it compressed. 20210427_195628_001.mp4
