1998 Dodge Ram Making Clicking Noise From Under Steering Column?
We found this question on Yahoo! Answers and maybe it is what you are looking for:
1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4×4 with the 318 engine. Since I’ve bought the truck there has been a clicking/clacking noise from under the steering colum. The noise gets louder as I press the gas pedal down further. I have no idea what this relation could be between the gas pedal and the noise coming from under the steering column. Any help would be appreciated.
Got an answer to this question? Or some thoughts that will help other readers?

Those year trucks were real bad about the intermediate shaft getting noisy. That’s the starring coupling under the hood that connects the steering to the gear box. It has to telescope in and out to accommodate the movement of the body to frame movements. If it gets loose, it will rattle. Check with you’re dealer to see if it still has a recall.

Hmmm, I’ve not heard of that yet and I drive the exact same model truck you are driving. The only exception is my engine is a 360. Now I am going to have to go drive it and see if there is a clicking and clacking taking place.
