Drive shaft union?
My Dak was making a noise you only heard when moving slowly forward or in reverse.
I have no idea how you would hear the same sound when slamming the door though. Something in the suspension?

Ok folks the 03 Club cab Dak is making a funny noise.
Noise occurs as starting off and is usually gone by the time to shift
into 2nd.
Sounds like one of them old spin the ratchet noise makers.
Occasionally I do hear a similar sound when I get out of the truck and
slam the door hard.
Possibly related note....Diffy (8.25 3.55 with Detroit Tru-Traxx) has a
leaking pinion seal and the True-Traxx does have some play. Both end
play (left to right) and some up and down.
