A major blockage in the exhaust system, a major vac leak around the intake, or a loss of fuel pressure come to mind.

Testimonial: "ok thank you i am going to try looking about the fuel pressure then the exhaust. When you try to step on the gas you hear it from the exhaust too."

SOURCE: loud clicking noise which the clicking noise getss faster as i accelerate

From what you are describing it sounds like it must be a valve lifter sticking. Try putting a cup of transmission oil in your crankcase, or pick up some suitable additive from your local parts store. I wish i could hear it and give you a better idea. Maybe let them listen to it at the parts store, and they can determine if it's a lifter or not. Let me know how you make out.

I had the same problem (same truck). I replaced the axle u-joint solved the problem. I recomend replacing both side at the same time.

Testimonial: "Thats what it was Took it over the Big O tire and they repaced it. Wala. I reccomend you get both done at the same time, for the other one goes out."

well there are alot of problems that can cause this irst things first... have the codes checked these will tell you alot. or atleast point you in the right direction. I you are not able to get the PCM scanned then you are looking at alot of testing, check the fuel pressure, make sure the fuel regulator is holding the pressure correctly. then make sure the injectors are pulsing correctly. then on to the throttle possition sensor you need to make sure its ready the sweep proporly, then onto the idle air control motor if its equiped with one. well that should keep you busy or a while if its none of those then ill keep working down the line.
good luck.

My 2000 dodge Durango is making a loud humming noise. When you go over 20mph. It feels like it is under my feet when I am driving and my steering wheel is vibrating. Any ideas what it nay be.

Check the front tyres for hi / low spots, flat spots, bulges. Try rotateing your wheels front to rear & see if the steering vibration disapears & noise move to rear.
