2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 4x4, 5.7 Hemi: Getting a rooring sound from front of truckwhen going down the road, faster that i go loader it is. I have done everyting i know to it, (both wheel bearings are new, new brakes, roters, had the tires rotated and balanced, changed transfer & transmission fluid, checked front & rear diff.) cant seem to figure it out.
First i would check the tires , are they cupped or chopped on the tread? run your hand over the tread and see if it feels rough and uneven. take the truck to a auto repair shop and have them jack both front and rear axles off the ground, put the truck in 2 wheel drive and run the speedometer to the speed you usually hear the roaring noise, if you don't hear the noise , put the truck in 4 wheel drive, turn off the traction assist if it has one and run it to the speed you would hear the noise. if you hear the roaring noise with tires off the ground, the problem is in the drivetrain, (engine, transmission, transfer case, u-joints, differentials or the front left or right cv halfshafts or u-joints). the older models (97 98) had the front two driveshafts from the differential turning all the time, they engaged in 4 wheel drive from the transfer case and a solenoid on the front differential. depending on the miles you have on this truck, the most likely areas i would look at would be the tires, u-joints/cv joints, and front and rear wheel bearings. thanks and good luck.

1997 Dodge 1500 4X4 roaring in front end. Dont do it all the time.And front wheels not locking in when in 4wheel drive.
Same type roaring noise 30mph to 50mph highway not bad. Dealer shop checked it out, said maybe tire noise. The shop had already replaced one wheel bearing assy. I had tires rotated to see if this would help, no. Sounds more like gear noise to me, CV? front Dif? wheel bearing assy?
Have clicking noise from front end at all speeds and a humming noise that increases as the speed does. Have new brakes,rotors,rotated and balanced the tires to no avail...Also checked the hubs...no end-play either....HELP!!!
Do you have stock tires? Or have they been replaced with something aftermarket?
The drivers side rear wheel moves in and out and both rear tires going bald quickly. Had an alignment done problem still exists. Also when going over small groves in the road feels like car is sliding across it.
