Default clicking at take off

First, before yall bash me up too bad, I did search posts for answers and found nothing. 2000 Ram 1500 Magnum 4x4 Auto. When pulling away from dead stop im getting a clicking sound like a bad u-joint, but all joints were recently replaced. The noise is getting louder and i can kinda feel or sense this weird sensation - like gears not quite engaging ( u-joint noise but louder and rougher). Sounds like the tranny area but can't quite pinpoint the location. ANY ideas would be appreciated. and yes I know i'm leaving myself wide open on that but give er !

that was my first thought, would be more pronounced at low speeds and also on low speed turns/u-turns..should be 'wheel hub assemblies'..can test with truck on ground but I would jack it up till front tires are just off the ground and check for play. 12p-6p and side to side..post results
