On our trip and when I slow down I hear a click clack clack clack clack clack clack the coach has been driving great strong 65 miles an hour. When I put it in neutral and the coach slows down, the noise comes back, when I accelerate even a little bit the clacking goes away. I checked to make sure I didn't have a lug nut floating around in the hubcap, and I've taken a temperature on the bearings and they are fine. I'm thinking a CV joint or transmission is about to explode!? I got underneath no grease no split boots pulled out all of the joints everything seemed fine wondering if it's a governor gear? What are your suggestions If? If you guys could cross post this on the other GMC groups that be great thanks,again not sure any thoughts?

Update 1- not the hub caps
Update 2 - I disconnected the intermediate speedometer cable from the transmission because the needle was bouncing under 15-20 mph, didn't impact the issue.
Update 3 - at Cherry Hill Park campground in Maryland outside DC
Update 3.5 - coach idles fine no noise and the noise doesn't seem to be related to engine RPM at rest.
