it sounds to me like it could be your abs motor trying to pressurize. may be low on brake fluid. abs reservoir on my 94' accord is towards front of engine on driver side. there are 2 reservoirs-1 for master cylinder and 1 for abs.

You are probably hearing your fuel pump relay close. The throttle positioning solenoid also clicks on some vehicles.

What is the clicking sound that starts when the truck starts moving?

The first and easiest answer is to remove the wheel covers and listen again for the clicking noise. It could be a pebble loose inside a wheel cover or a tire valve stem clicking against the wheel cover. If it's not that easy, and your truck has CV joints, I would suspect a bad CV joint. Look for a torn CV boot.

Why does your gmc Yukon make clicking sounds when you turn?

My Yukon had the same problem. At first i thought it was the lifter, but i replaced those and it still kept clicking. I was looking into my engine one day and noticed there was a high heat bolt missing from a hole in my exhaust manifold. I replaced it with another high heat bolt and it stopped making the clicking noise. If you dont replace the bolt, the noise should stop after your engine gets hot and the metal starts to expand. Hope this helps!

Inspect the rubber boot that covers the joint. If it is torn, and there is dirt and grit up inside, your cv joint is about to fail. You'll know it is failing when it starts clicking. It will click each time the wheel turns. The clicking gets worse as you turn the wheel. The clicking gets worse and louder and turns into a 'thunk' right before it self destructs.
