I hate to say this,but I think you got water in your intake and hydo locked your engine.This is when water gets into the cylinders and water cant compress so it locks up the engine ,which may have bent a rod.I wouldn't drive it because it may cause more damage.Get it towed and hope for the best.Good Luck.

A friend if mine retired and bought his company car, a 2006 Charger with the 2.7 v6 and 4 spd auto. A mechanic? told him that the 2.7 Chrysler v6 had an engine "blowup" problem caused by the coolant pump being located in the fuel tank and leaking
coolant into the fuel, thereby ruining the engine. I have heard some off-the-wall things, but a coolant pump in the fuel tank??
Any of you fine fellers (or gals) heard about this one?

I never heard that one,but the 2.7 has a history of sludge build up in their engine that will cause alot of engine problems.I read that the PVC system has a problem that cause the build up of sludge.The fuel pump is in the gas tank,but never heard of coolant in the tank,doesn't make sense.

Has anyone ever heard a constant clicking in the engine while looking under the hood? I'm growing somewhat concerned.

Why don't you go to a garage get a opinion,then take it to your dealer if there is something wrong?It could be anything making the noise.

Which engine? 2.7L, 3.5L or 5.7L?
The 5.7L has a tick that can be heard with the hood open. Not sure if you will get much help here. Chargerforums will be your best bet and if you search the forums in the problem section it is discussed quite a bit and sometimes the dealer will say its normal.

try lxforums.
 
lifter? timing chain?
 
My 5.7 is not that smooth at idle, being a pushrod engine, but smooths out progressively as the RPMS go up.
