I've been all over the truck searching for this one and can't find a cause. Here's the symptoms:

- get on the highway, start to hear a subtle noise, much like you're driving over the rumble strips, but without the vibration, just the noise. Comes and goes and eventually after driving for a bit, it goes away.

- running around town, get above 30mph, upon decel the noise is much more noticeable. Sounds like it's coming from pass. side.

I've checked the fender skirts and mud flaps. I've checked the wheel bearings and grease in the knuckle. Checked the brakes, no noise from them. Lugs are all tight. Only changes I've made to the truck have been in the lift, but that was a year ago.

My thoughts are - u joints (don't know what they sound like when they're going), something in the knuckle, or ?

Thanks for any thoughts on things to check out.
 
Cory,

sounds like the noise my front u-joints are making. best way to tell, yank the front driveline and go for a spin. see what happens. mide didn't happen until i installed the caster plates. showed up within a week.
