Message:
Hey all,
I think there may be a problem with my DAK. It is a '94, V-8 (5.2 or 318), 5 spd, 2wd and about 115,000 miles. I recently made a moderately long drive. On the trip out the truck ran great no strange sounds, however on the way back I noticed some "highway" noise. I am not sure how to describe it, it is a medium pitched buzzing sound(almost but not quite like a low tire) you get when you drive over cerain kinds of highways. Does that make any sense? Anyway I have heard the noise before in other vhicle and in my dak. However the sound is now a constant, it does not matter what type or road I drive on, it will prodce the sound. It is not part of the engine or trany as the sound is produced with or with out the trany in gear and only makes the sound when moving. Aso if i make a left hand turn or the road turns left the sound stops. Any ideas? I am thinking it is a tire but not sure. I will be rotating the tires later today and will post an update. Thanks for any help and sorry about the length of the post.

Your explanation of the sound, makes me think it is a wheel bearing. Before you take the wheels off to rotate, with wheel off the ground, rotate the wheel and see if you hear any noise that shouldn't be there. You can also check the bearings by grabbing both sides of tire and see if it feels loose by shaking it.

I'd guess tires...tires can make all kinds of strange noises as they wear.
