It can't be the speedo cable because your truck does not have one it only has a VSS on the rear diff no cable.

Welcome to the forum ow_hastings

It sounds to me like you might have a dry U-joint. I would remove the driveshaft and carefully check the U-joints for any looseness or binding or rough feeling.

I agree. Mark the drive shaft and the rearend before you take it out. Do the same with the yokes and shaft if you take that apart, other wise you may have a vibration when you're done.
