Rearend trouble

I own Stock 02 Excursion 7.3 4x4...155k miles...when I make hard left turns from a dead stop I feel/hear a ratcheting sound from the rear end ( minor, but very noticable) truck runs and drives well other than that. Any ideas?

Inspect the slip yoke on the driveshaft for wear. Give it a good lube job, too....

Sounds like spider gears. Is it limited slip?
