Click Noise Everytime It Goes Into Drive...

I have an 09 with 9k miles and have experienced the same thing. I back out of the driveway after the truck sits overnight and when I put it in "D" I get the clink just as forward progress starts. I figured it was the front differential(?) engaging. One curious thing is that I don't recall it happening until recently and only after sitting, it does not seem to occur when warmed up. Having had a Dakota that had a vacuum-engaged front differential that never worked right I'm not too concerned since its a Honda. I'm not an expert by any means but it certainly sounds drive train related.
