Inside the joint are large ball bearings that give the shaft flexiblility. Either the needle bearings inside of each ball are damaged or the ball itself is. In either case, the ball will not ride smooth in the hub and cause a clicking. A clicking axle can be run for a while, but it will at some point break or come apart. It should be change as soon as possible.

Your Car Makes A Clicking Noise Today I Was Making A U Turn. And My Acura Legend Stop Moving It Stay On And Made A Loud Clicking Noise What Is Wrong With The Car?

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.
