This sounds very similar to a problem that Tundras had for awhile. I believe it is called a slip yoke. It is where the driveshaft connects to the rear differential. The slip yoke slides back and forth on the rear differential shaft and on the Tundra the clearances were very tight and would cause some slight binding between the slip yoke and this shaft. There is some sliding designed into this type of system to account for the differential movement that occurs with suspension movement. Well on the Tundras, when you would slow down the rear suspension travel would increase as weight was transferred forward. When the truck would finally even back out when stopped the slip yoke would bind slightly on the differential shaft before the binding would release resulting in a clunk. This may not be the case here, only a guess. I hope that maybe some of this will make sense...I know my description may suck or may not be completely accurate. Sorry. I think the problem was solved by using some additional grease on the shaft.
