when the vehicle is sitting still no noise as I roll there is a clack that speeds up as I do. Sometimes there is no noise but that is rare. I have had a shop look at it and a dealer ship look at it and they could not find anything. It has been doing this for about 8 months and it seems to be getting louder. If I am rolling about 5-8 mph it is a steady loud clack, clack, clack well get the picture. any suggestion?

Does the sound seem to be coming from one of the differentials?

I would say either a bad hub bearing or something sticking in the hub itself. Have you taken it apart?
