Ticking/clicking from front driver’s wheel well

[Texasram1]

its not a million degrees today, so I had the windows down. I noticed a clicking/ticking coming from the front left wheel well while going in a straight line. I thought maybe I had some brake drag, but applying the brakes does not resolve it. Putting it in N and revving does not change it.

Any ideas?

Put it in 4wd and see if sound changes under throttle, how many miles on the truck? Could be a wheel bearing or Ujoint on its way out

Tried 4wd. Same thing.
22k miles

Time to jack it up and start checking the front end

Brake dust shield bent in?

Rock stuck in tread.

If it is a dually it may be the center cap moving slightly on the lug nuts. Puting some silicone grease on the contact areas made mine quiet for several months. Must be a tiny bit of movement between the two.

2022 2500 mega cab limited.
No rocks in tread….although that happened a few weeks ago.

Will jack it up and have a look tonight.

Last time that happened to me, I had picked up a roofing nail
