Default Clicking sound when accelerating

whats up everyone?

So i just started having this problem, every time I take off from a complete stop i get this metal on metal ticking sound. It sounds like its coming from beneath the drivers seat. There is no sound when breaking and no sound in park. I can hear it if i toss it into neutral while driving slowly

It a 98 blazer 4 door 4x4

I'm going to post a link to a video of me driving once youtube uploads it

any help would be great, im having trouble figuring this out on my own

cheers

Make sure that the backing plate isnt hitting the tire or rim on the inside. And check and make sure the caliper is secured.

That is either the chain in the transfer case or the transmission slipping on the sprockets. Eventually you will go to drive it one day and it won't pull. Are you in 4 x4 while this is happening?

Ended up being U-joints in the rear drive shaft. They where seized like crazy. They had no play but they had no grease in them
