Angry Slap, thud, something when I take off and stop?

When I take off there is a slap or a thud or something, feels like weight shifting, and when I stop it does the same thing. Ive got under it and I cant figure out what the hell it is, at first I though it was the rearend but it only does it when the whole truck is warm and when the weather is warm. when its cold she runs like a champ. I rocked the truck back and forth in park and had my hand on the tire and i could feel something, not sure what but it was like there was play somewhere, anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Its a 4.0 litre auto supercab. Ive heard similar problems were linked to the slip yoke being greased, i am lost, I just need answers lol.

It could be a tire balance issue, but w/o driving the vehicle or at least nearby it is hard to diagnose over the internet.

The mechanic said there was play in my ring and pinion.
