is your truck a 4x4 it may be something in the transfer case or a ujoint coming off the transfer case sometimes the 4x4 trucks get a pinhole in the tcase and all the fluid drains out and it totally screws it up but when you spun the tire did you spin it at 20 mph because if you dont replicate the situation correctly you wont get the same result so maybe you didnt spin it fast enough to get the berring to squeak you know

my transfercase is leaking oil around the seal, but when my truck is in motion it will start clicking until my truck isnt in motion anymore, but if i first start my truck when i start moving there like no clicking until i pick up speed to atleast 35 and it will start clicking all the way until am at a complete stop and when i move again, and i put my truck in 4 wheel drive and it still made the noise

For instance. Under the words TRUCK STOP is "General Chat area". General Chat is just chat about off topic stuff that really isn't related to what this site's purpose is.

ok...seems it might be throttle induced, so that means when you are using the gas pedal all of your drivetrain is tight because of the power, when you are coasting your U-joint can click or other drivetrain components that are wearing out wont have positive pressure on them and that would cause a click, or what have you...

is that bad? this is an example when i start driving, i start my truck, push the brake, throw it in drive, i go up to 55mph and it starts clicking soo much it sounds like some thing is rattling because its clicking soo fast, i slow down to a stop sign, the clicking is getting slower and slower as i slow down in speed, i come to a complete stop there no click, i take off its starts clicking again, click....click...click..click.click.click.click

Not from the way he is describing it, it's happening regardless of throttle position, engine rpm, load on drivetrain. Could be front hubs, front differential / axle shaft bearings, transfercase (encoder motor not dis-engaging front drive shaft), u-joints in the front driveshaft, rear drive-shaft u joints, transfercase output shaft bearings, rear axle bearings, rear diff carrier bearings?

You just keep telling us the same thing over and over again. we get it. it's speed induced.
As I said earlier. when the dealership checked my wheel bearing they told me it wasn't messed up. It likely won't click with no weight on it.
changed it and the click went away.


PLEASE put a location in your profile so we can know where you are. It helps a lot because we can offer to come look at it if we are in your area.

If the truck is 4wd, then it should have CV joints on it. CV joints will click when they are starting to go out. Its common on FWD cars....
