Tick, Tick, Tick......

Ok, I wasn't crazy!  Around 30mph I get a click, click, click.  I have to be on the gas or it goes away.  If I am just barely touch the gas pedal, enough to make it go vroom, thick click gets really loud.  I am effin lost.  And go...........

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too.  Unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow and I don't get back until Saturday so it will have to wait.  Any other ideas?

It could be an exhaust leak, but then it would do it all the time and not just when you are specifying...  I would start with the u-joint.  You should be able to tell if it is that just by getting under the jeep and twisting the drive shaft left and right.

When I get back I will take you for a spin with me Axle and you can hear it too.  Maybe if two people explain it, it will the across a little more clear.

*whispers* I hope he doesn't find the zip-tie I put on his driveshaft.
