I'm not sure of the best way to describe this or recreate it in a way that doesn't sound like it might cause additional damage.
I got my gladiator back after a frame and axle replacement in December. I'm not sure if they might have missed some damage or if something may not have been reassembled correctly.
For the most part, I don't notice any issues driving under "normal" conditions. But if I'm pulling out of a driveway onto a high speed road (read: need to "gun it" a bit) I hear a bad grinding sound. It goes away if I let up a little on the gas and honestly I'm not trying to spin my wheels, so if I need to push the pedal I do it as little as possible anyway. In that respect it's only for a couple seconds, but given that it occurs when I'm stressing the vehicle, I'm worried it might cause something to fail when I can least afford to have it fail.
Any ideas of places to start looking? I would like to have some idea of what might be wrong before taking it to a service department. I'm sure they're booked up for weeks and any time I can save on diagnostics would help.

If I floor the pedal while moving I don't have any issues. It's only noticeable from a stopped situation.
