Default Noise in read end 1995 blazer 4x4

1995 blazer 4x4. Had a broken brake line when I bought it. Got that fixed but it makes a noise, It is either in the rear end or the brake, I am not sure I got it bled good enough, kind of makes a whoomp whoomp whoomp sound going down the road. I had a 71 torino that did the same thing, Just wondering if anyone had same problem

By the description of the noise, I would take a guess that you have a wheel bearing going out on you.

I will try the bearing thing, one person replied about a bad tire. Ok one thing about that is I can not get that tire off for anything, I have tried everything but driving it with the lug nuts a little loose and hoping it breaks it off the rim. I have had all lug nuts off and kicked and used a 3 pound sledge on the back trying to get that tire off and no success, it has stock alunimun wheels on it,

i have tried wd40 on it. I might just have to try a little harder, I have pancreantitis and makes it a little hard to swing., In hospital right while we speak, Been in a week so far . Spent most of 2011 in hospital. Soon as I get out I will try it again. I will call my wife today and have her spray inside the hub more, Thanks guys, any help is appreciated

Definitely sounds like wheel bearing, hope you get better and are able to get the wheel off. Had a Bimmer I couldn't get a wheel off of, took it to Discount Tire and they got it off for free.

Also might be the pinion gear missing some teeth? When was the last time the gear oil was changed? Wouldn't hurt to pull off the inspection cover and see what the rear end looks like. 2 quarts of gear oil, new gasket and a tube of RTV will run you less than 20 bucks.
