i found the problem the truck is lifted and the fan was barely hitting the fan shroud when the motor would tweak when torqued
Body lift?

Body lift?
Yes body lift a couple weeks ago I replaced the clutch fan and noticed that the fan was low and not up high like it should be so I put in some metal to close it up for better air flow and the fan just started hitting it inside the truck it sounded like it was coming from under the truck I had a buddy help he listen and found it out
Take the inspection cover off the front of the trans and take a flash light and check the flywheel for cracks (common problem) the start cracking around the crankshaft bolts.
i take it that its 4x4??
manual shift np 241?
if so broken clip in the tailshaft of the transfer case, $1.50 for it from gm, common problem, you shift into 4x4 with the fuse removed and the noise goes away is a good indication of that failure
I've noticed i've started to develop a bit of this same clicking going on as im going up thru the gears, but mainly in reverse and accelerating up through 1st. However, mine's not 4wd or manual, so does that pretty much mean i'm looking at a cracked flywheel as chevydriver indicated? 200k miles on it so i'm guessing i'm going to start to have tranny problems soon, was just hoping a rebuild wouldn't be in the cards this soon. (98', 5.0, auto, 2wd, trans unsure will have to check in daylight tomorrow, tow package w/ cooler from factory, alot of miles towing a camper from what i've been told by the PO) TIA.
Yup sounds like the flexplate is cracked.
