Sounds like it's coming from the rear of the jeep. Doesn't change with break application. Doesn't change if I put it in to neutral. I'm hoping it's not the diff. I know how vague this is but I was hoping it would sound familiar to someone Oh, stock 98 5.9 btw.

Try to move it laterally, and up and down, to check for worn U-joints. ANY movement is suspect. U-joints are cheap (about $20 each) and easy to replace, so there's no point in living with one that you suspect may be loose. Some people replace theirs every 2 to 5 years anyway. Check that first, and then get back to us.
