Default Clicking noise from underside

I have a 2002, 2500, V10. Just started hearing a clicking noise from the underside while the vehicle is moving. Noise frequency changes with vehicle speed. Is this a common indication of a bad U joint or should I be looking at something else? Thanks!

Yup, check your front u-joints. If you have to replace them get MOPAR, trust me they fit much better than aftermarket u-joints.

Just picked up an '04 2500, and a couple days later, started hearing the exact same thing, a clicking sound coming from the transfer case area that changes with RPM. It does not do it if I engage 4H though, so is it the FWD or Rear u-joint on the transfer case?

Did you end up replacing yours, and did it fix it?
