vibration from rearend ????
a buddy of mine is having a issue with making a left hand turn and his truck is sounding like the rear left side tire is rubbing the nobbs on something. the tires are not rubbing on anything, only does it with weight in the back of truck and starting from a dead stop. any ideas on what might be the problem. thanks

That's an odd noise for that location. First, I would stand outside of the truck while the noise is reproduced, to verify that it's the rear. Then I might try the same but standing behind it to feel out left or right.
Once you have it a little more narrowed down, pull the wheel and check the brakes and look for shiny spots that the tire might have hidden. It could be the spring bushings rattling around, maybe the ebrake pads grabbing a bit.

If there is a limited slip differential in the truck, was the fluid recently changed? It may need more friction modifier for the LS unit to function properly.
