so i am just gonna go ahead and put my money on u joints but just in case ill post this anyway, i have had this clicked noise for awhile now and it is getting worse now it is my like a metal on metal screech, it becomes louder the more i give the throttle, in park it does not make this noise on when in gear, it is a quick screech like you can tell its something that rotates but it is like really quick. any ideas?

ps, no i did not check to see if any play in drive shaft, i think i will when i wake up i just got off work

 

look at them first if they are solid when you try to turn them then they are just fine because if it’s the U-Joints you will see it ASAP My truck makes a funny kind of tinkling from under it that I still can’t trace but my U-joints are solid no movement in them at all I think it’s one of my front wheel bearings I need a new Hub I think the bearings are dry it’s a bizarre noise sounds like I’m dragging a small chain behind my truck but a faint noise not loud.

I only hear it when I’m next to a wall that bounces the sound up into my cab if the window is open tinkle tinkle tinkle

 

it was the rear u joint you couldnt move it in any direction can't believe it didn't bust apart going down the road, i had to use a big hammer haha i replaced both since i had it down

 

and i know i need a wheel bearing an i know what the different sounds are, i guessed right! in the cold and rain this morning i laid on the wet ground it took me like 15 minutes to do with a c clamp to press them into place, easier then using a hammer
