Open the hood
Start engine
Foot on the brake
put it in 1st gear and let out the clutch a bit or if auto, give it a bit of gas
Watch for engine movement, rising up on one side
Repeat in Reverse gear.

Engine and drive train warmed up, at least a 10 minute drive
Engine off wheels blocked
get under truck and try to move drive shaft, u-joints can loosen up once warm
Have some one bounce on the rear bumper/bed while you are under it
