Drive shaft noise
This past weekend I started hearing a clicking noise coming from my rear end. The sound is kind of like a baseball card in the spokes of a bike or a piece of paper hitting a fan a low speed. I jacked the rear end up of the truck up put it in drive and the noise is coming from my drive shaft. Looks like 200 to 300 for a new one! The auto parts store also said they can be fixed. Which way would you all go?
Also how long do I have until it breaks completely and I can't drive it?

ya it's 4x4. one shaft. I climbed under it again as the truck was on the jacks, I put my head right next to the shaft as it was spinning I could hear the noise, its not coming from the pumpkin, its gotta be the u-joint connecting to it. I think its like yours was Ram Driver. no noise near the upper end of the shaft. one shop said it would cost 180 to 400 to fix it. I said ,well I can buy a new shaft with u-joints for 250 300!!
