My Mazda B4000 pickup (50,000mi) just started making a metal on metal noise in the rear. I only hear it going forward and it's most prominent at speeds between 0-25mph. No recent repairs have been made, it just started happening, but the weather has started to get colder. Any ideas? How much in repairs am I looking at? Can I fix it myself?

Grinding noise, think brakes, bearings or differential. Easy enough to figure out, life the rear ens up and spin the wheels, you'll hear it.
Knocking noise, think shocks, bushings etc.

check the rear brakes on it they could be worn out and if so they will be metal to metal when you hit the brake that being the case its going to probably need new drums or rotors which ever it has,it can cost you well over 100 bucks just for parts to repair it with ,not to mention labor if you decide you cant do it your self,the whole job could cost around 200 to get it done or more,good luck with it.

You can't really diagnose this problem without hearing it. It may be in the brakes if the noise changes when you apply the brakes or it's possible it's in the differential. You should let a qualified technician have a look in either case unless you have experience in brakes

Standlock has the right idea, if the pads aren't shot, then you need to twist the adjustment screw. There is a little wheel that adjusts your pads to the drum. Try losening it a bit and see if the noise goes away.

wheel bearings or u joints i would say. If u joints, can be checked by getting under truck and pushing up on them. If no slack, i would say check oil in diff and then lift the back of the truck up and put one hand on the top of the tire and one on the bottom and push back and forth for any movement other that going round and round

sounds like brake job time
expert opinion recommended ... probably about $40.00 which he/she wil probably waive if they get to do the work.
in my case also recommended
do it yorself, requires tools (bought, borrowed or rented) repair manual (same) and jack, jack stands, safe level surface, etc. case of beer for friend, etc.
shop probably safer in long run
