Odd Noise and Vibration
I noticed a noise today in the parkinglot of a store. When traveling at 5-10mph I notice a slight clicking noise coming from the front end of the truck. I didn't pay it much attention but you know how it is once you notice something it sticks out like a sore thumb. I had an idea and put it in 4HI and the clicking stopped at the same speed.
Also I noticed a few days ago that when I get to around 60mph I feel a funny vibration. It isn't a "holy crap the truck is falling apart" but it is definitely noticable. I thought it might be the tires becuase I am due and am hopefully picking up a new set of Nitto TGs later next month but that is besides the point. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it could possibly be. Thanks.

What should the U-Joints be checked for - tightness? Is tightening U-Joints a DIY job?

sounds like the same problems I had a couple of week ago. Not to sure what they fixed, the paper work said propellor shaft. Not sure if thats a considered a front driveshaft or which one. Any ways it was covered under warrenty which was good.

I got a horrible clicking noise coming from my hubs before, all I had to do was pull them apart clean em and grease em and then I had no noise.
There is a variety of things you could be hearing though anything from drive line to steering to suspension

Figured out What it was
So took the truck to the dealership and it was only a bad universal joint. But the hilarious thing is THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT IN STOCK!! I would think that a universal joint would be a common part but hey that is what I get for thinking.

I would but it is still under warranty. So might as well let them pay for being stupid. Just a word of advice to anyone that reads this from Middle Tennessee. NEVER GO TO NISSAN OF RIVERGATE! They have the worst customer service and the dumbest jerks in the world working there.
