M,
Thank you and always respect your experienced input.Did you perhaps listen to 
the file ?OK will try this again; but when cut engine without prop shaft it 
stops abruptly.Will try to listen with engine running.Also I have have the 
impression that it is when torque direction is from wheels spinning and trying 
to overrun the transmission - like coasting.Will report back.Tkxrg

Hi Roger, you say "Disconnecting prop shaft to isolate diff not possible as 
need the inertia of the rear wheels to produce the pulsing."I think that is 
unlikely and would look into that more closely.If you can get access to a 
"Chassis Ear" that would probably help a lot.

 Notice it at low speed (probably exists at driving speed but too much wind and 
engine 
noise) if shift to neutral and cut ignition to minimize engine and exhaust 
noise.Noise is pulsating - like a tire with a bad spot but seems to be at 
prop shaft speed. At first thought that it was at wheel speed and from R 
side.So changed out the R wheel bearing.No improvement Then while looking below 
noted that universals had some play.So changed out both universals.Rear brakes 
not dragging and no binding of wheels.No improvement. Did listening on hoist 
with others listening too. Consensus was that there was a noise at rear OD area 
as well as the pulsating one.
So pulled annulus in situ and replaced both rear bearings. Quieter but still 
the pulsating noise while coasting in N. Sound file enclosed is a road test 
from about 15 MPH then shift to N and cut engine. Tunnel cover off.

Able to replicate noise with engine on axle stands but not by turning a rear 
wheel by hand or with an e motor.

Noise does appear to come from transmission.

To verify is not diff removed one of the rear seats and noise doesn't appear to 
be coming from diff area.
Disconnecting prop shaft to isolate diff not possible as need the inertia of 
the rear wheels to produce the pulsing. About 5k miles ago I changed out the 
larger OD front bearing (sourced from 
Moss ... ?) in the OD.OD works fine and transmission shifts and works OK 
without unusual 
noises.
The pulsating/cyclical nature of the noise baffles me and not consistent 
with a bearing failure ?
Given that it occurs in neutral with no gears meshing it surely is not a bad 
gear tooth etc.
OD not engaged so it is locked so not likely there.
Removed gearbox top cover and did inspection - nothing obvious.
So to my mind this only leaves the GB rear bearing ?Or maybe a broken circlip 
or thrust washer and probably on main shaft external to gearbox ?
or half shaft ?

Any comments/thoughts appreciated from the more experienced among us.Tkxrg
