Three things to check

bad Universal Joint,
with the vehicle in park and the parking brake firmly set get under the vehicle and check for excessive play at either end of the driveshaft.

bad transmission mount
get a helper, have them start the vehicle and with the parking brake firmly set and the brake pedal depressed put it in reverse (DO NOT BE UNDER VEHICLE AND STAY CLEAR OF TIRES) , watch the driveshaft and transmission for movement.

bad motor mount
open the hood, have the helper once again start the engine and put the vehicle in reverse with the parking brake set and the brake pedal depressed, watch for excessive engine movement.

Clanking sounds when i back up and put it in drive also when i turn corners

Get your differential fluid checked and make sure you get synthetic for the rear if indicated. The clanking on turns reduces the possibility of the U-joints being the culprit. The driveshaft would give you noise going from reverse to drive, but in turns it is likely the clutches in the rear axle.

A four wheel drive can cause noise in all directions if the front drive has bad joints.

When i put my 2006 explorer in rev it didnt move and when it finally did it man a loud noise and jumped into gear. Do you know what the problem or solution is?

Does the shifter work okey and was this a one time thing? It my not have been in reverse. Is it okey now or does it always bang into reverse?

Shift in gear won't go , front wheels locked up

Hate to say it but it sounds like your looking at a new or rebuilt transmission. Get a diagnosis anyway, just to be sure I'm not jumping the gun.

Dodge ram 1500 5.9 1999 Clank at the start or reverse or drive.

Sounds more like a universal joint. Should be a inexpensive fix have it checked soon or you will need to add the price of a tow to the repair bill. part should not be over $30 each x 2 labor should not be much more than an hour.
