If you had a problem with the bearings the noise generally would be there all the time.
The bearing that usually fails before any is the input or countershaft bearing located at the front of the transmission.

Did you check and see if you had any loose heat shielding or anything else that would make noise?

Also when you state "Skids", Is that the term for burnouts or what? :-)

Could be the tailshaft bushing. Are you sure it's coming from the trans? Might have killed a pinion bearing in the diff.
