I'd check the center mount under diff as well as engine mounts and trans/tranfx mounts.

engine mounts are good cus I checked them when I rebuilt the engine
and the under def mount I put a new cushion so it shouldn’t be clunging . It just happen when I switch gears and it come where drive shaft like connected to the def

HH = Happy Hummer

Not talking about Half Shafts (CV Axles). Your front drive shaft has a CV at the T Case, and it will clunk and make noises telling you it needs attention... like come LOOK at me....

oh yes I def want a happy hummer lol and I think I know what you talking about it’s basically where the drive shaft hook up to. Does that make that huge clung noise and shake the whole damn car when you shift the the gear? Because I can see the drive shaft like shift/rotate when I change gear and that where the sound come from like that area. does this have to be replaced alone or it like the whole drive shaft basically ? And when I take it off ? Is that differential fluid that will come from there ? Just so I know what to top off

No, but there is the front U Joint.

Grab the front drive shaft like it is your pay check and try to move/wiggle/rotate it and see if it makes noise. If the rear CV Joint allows play, you can hear that in the front U Joint as well.
