Well got the axle bearing replaced on both sides and it is still making noise but not as loud. Where to look next?

My best guess is diff. You can lift the rear and put truck in neutral and spin the tires so if you can locate where exactly the noise is coming from.

I have no idea, but check the clips on the leaf springs. It took me a couple months to find out what my noise was, and those are lose. I just put a little shim in there to keep it tight lol.

That is strange. Seems like the pinion bearing would have to be bad. Yea, tough one for sure.
