Clicking noise while accelerating
#13
I had a noise when accelerating, sounding like a loose heat shield. After reading this thread I checked the drives shafts for play, then the exhaust pipe by beating it with my hand. Fallowed the noise checking everything to the engine and found a exhaust pipe heat shield under the front drive shaft was loose.

Any solutions?
I have a 2001 durango 4.7l v8, aproximately 149,000. The last 2 weeks ive been hearing a clicking noise. It almost sound like when you were a kid and put a card in your spokes of your bike. It only happens when accelerating, and only in drive. But it stops when im at normal driving speed(55mph), When i take off, its more noticable. I went undhght maybe u joints, but all were replaced 30,000 miles ago. Any help would be nice! Thanks, mike.

I'll give you my thoughts anyways, check your U-Joints. Check your CV joints on the front axle shafts especially if this noise is more pronounced around a turn. Otherwise you likely have a CV style front driveshaft and that could be causing the noise when the drivetrain is under more stress as you accelerate.
Check your front driveshaft, is it a CV style joint on the front driveshaft?

Side note, does anyone ever get a big thunk when letting off the accelerator? Probably a loose cv joint or ujoint right? I had the front diff "referbished" already with a big chunk of the front end parts but of course the mechanic never mentioned a word about other possible issues 🙄 😒

My truck now at 230k miles. I had same issue just a couple months ago. Turns out to be a very small exhaust leak from oem exhaust manifold gasket. The pinging will disappear at times after engine warms up. at times more noticable when cold which makes sense. As time goes buy, hole eventually grows and then it was obvious it was exhaust leak.
Had gasket replaced and all is quiet.
