When I move forward I hear a clanking noise in the rear of the truck. It happens when I release my brakes and start to move forward.

Remove the drive rear drive shaft and check the u-joints. Then check the rear differential yoke for any movement (side to side and up and down). If there is any movement then the pinion bearing is failing..
