I think I have this photobucket thing figured out. here are the bigger pics finally.

I switched tires and wheels, now it is nice and quiet. I am glad it was a tire issue and not something else. I appreciate all the help that was offered.

Ssfast, they look sharp on that black truck, matches perfect. I really don't mind them at all. I am very happy with them. I would like actual ss wheels if I come across the right deal. Diggerdan I will definitely get photobucket set up so I can put the pictures up correctly.
-
Thanks, yeah the pics came out small. I usually have issues posting pictures unless I shrink them down. I will post bigger ones today.

I had traded my 22s for the LTZ wheels which I have been seeking for awhile. Being that the SSS is a sport truck and not such a flashy truck I was happy doing the deal. I bought the truck with these 22s but would rather have the stock wheels. LTZs are the closest I could find around my area. Feels better on the road and I am very pleased with the look. Opinions?

Looks sharp. Where do we get them from?

Just put some new rubber (bridestone Turanzas) on my DD 02 GP they hum at 58-60 then goes away.
Last set of tires bridgestones again were very noisy esp when braking. New set tamed the brake noise.
It loudness depends on pavement. Tires are very suseptible (sp) to road noise
Dave, I have noticed that on really smooth pavement I get the humming louder then when on older rough pavement. I definitely believe the tires are the problem. Now I have to save up for some better ones.
-
Damn bro, you got skill. Nice work.

Yeah that could be. Some tires make more noise than others . My Goodyear GT2 made more noise than my falken ziex did. It does happen. Glad you finally got the front diff taken care of I remember when you were going through that. Maybe try changing your air pressure around a bit and see if it helps.
I confirmed the noise is the tires. I changed my front hub out and still have the dang hum. I think I am going to start looking at some factory wheels and just run a stock set of tires or maybe something similar. That front diff I had rebuilt started making the famous bearing noise again so I bought another diff for a great price and slapped it in. Its nice and smooth now except for tire noise. Thanks once again for help.
Try some different wheels like you said first. I thought i had a bad bearing, but found out it was just my extremly loud nitto 420s after i switched to different tires.. wide tires with crazy tread patterns make some noise..
Different wheels and tires it is. Now I have a excuse to look for new rims.... Thanks for the input.

Jason ever since I bought the truck I have been fighting the dealership about the front diff noise which I ended up getting a new t-case out of the fight some how and I fixed the front diff myself. But I really think the tire noise has been there the whole time and I just notice it more now. I believe it is my tires making noise but I just wouldn't think it would be so loud. I am really trying to find some stock wheels and tires which I believe would be a lot quieter.
-
I tried to shake the wheel and had no play. Tire pressure is right on. Bought a new hub anyway. Gonna change It because I have 88k on he truck right now. Sure its gonna need it eventually. I just wouldn't think a street tire would he so loud.
-
I have a new t-case. I recently bought a new hub for it also. If this hub does not fix the humming then I really don't know what else to do. I would really like to get the stock wheels and tires for it one day or some ltz wheels. I hate these 22s.

Looking for a little insight from all the knowledge that is on this site. Front driver side wheel/ tire is humming at around 15/30mph. The hum gets louder when I apply the brakes. Sounds like I am running mud terrains on really smooth pavement. The hum goes away with higher speed. Could it just be my tires that make it sound like this. I have changed front diffs already and rotated tires. Also it is a 03 SSS on 305/40-22 by nexen. Anyone running these tires notice this?
-
WOW! That is a huge difference. Looks great
-
If it counts for anything I have always had a great experience on this site. I usually ask for opinions or tips for what ever it is that I am doing on my truck and I have not been steered wrong. I will agree that I see a lot of arguing between members on certain topics but I have learned a lot regardless.
-
There's a few of us up here at ft Bragg. Check pt.net there's a bunch of guys in your area on there
Steve, I will look on that site you recomended. Appreciate the input.

I would love to attend some sort of event with fellow SSS members but I have yet to see anything in the state of Georgia. Is there anything around here that I can attend? I always check this topic but everything is far away and not really an option for me. I am in Columbus at Fort Benning. I can do Atlanta, whats out there????? I know something has to be Georgia eventually.

Tanker make me an offer..im not too picky...all badges are gone sr
Since onebadmax asked first he will have first dibs on the diff. If he doesnt buy it I might jump on this deal. Thanks
-
What the price for the front diff?
-
I posted about h&r because I have never heard of them, apperentley nobody else has either. Ihave decided to go with black bear or wheatley since they tend to deal with our trucks on a common basis. I would rather pay a little but more and know that it will be done right. thanks guys

Man I lucked out with these. I seen a guy at the gas station here on post that had them on his slammed 4 door chevy so I stopped and asked him where he found the wheels at. He said he wanted 22s and I told him I been wanting the LTZs that he had on his truck. I asked him if he wanted to trade wheels. That day we swapped out. He was super excited to have my 22s and I was just happy to have the wheels I been wanting. Worked out great.
