I am not sure where to post this, but today I had the opportunity to go for a longer drive with my new to me 2005 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4. Most of my driving up to now have been back and forth to work.
When this happened I was in a parking lot and was trying to pull into a site. The turn was tight, and I couldn't get in with the space I had and I decided to back out. I shifted into reverse and there was a, ticking, clicking sort of noise that seemed to be from the front, for lack of a better word at the moment that happened when the truck was moving and stopped when it stopped. I backed into a site across the way, parked the truck, and went to get what I was stopping for. I pulled out and there was no noise going forward. As I drove down the road at highway speeds there was another noise that I cannot really describe. I stopped, and when I started again the sound was gone. Along with this, another thing I noticed as I was driving around, when I start from a stop with the wheels turned there is like a catching feeling sort of like when locking hubs are engaged on vehicles which have them, at least that I was I remember as a similar feeling from back when I had one, or maybe like 4x4 is on when driving on dry roads.
That is the best I can do in terms of describing this. I am going to have a look after dropping my son off at work, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
