Im getting that noise a bad bearing makes but ive replaced both bearings twice...The noise is really loud on the highway and I can feel vibrations in my steering wheel even just going straight...I cant turn the radio up anymore to drown the noise out...What could it be???

canadianVRss Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm guessing you've replaced both wheel bearings? Pull your front diff drain plug and see what you got on it and what the gear oil looks like. Front diffs on these trucks are prone to failure and hum very loudly when the carrier bearings are going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italianguy11473 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I actually replaced that fluid after my second set of bearings...it looked good...replacing the front diff does not sound cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front diffs are actually pretty stout units, the problem lies in the carrier bearings. There are plenty of high HP members on here running a good amount of power through them.

BLNAWAY Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Could have a bad axle shaft.... jack it all up and get a stethoscope. Move it around your front drivetrain see if you can pin point any noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
