2004 Dodge Hemi 4x4, 45000 miles. When I accelerate gradually from a complete or partial stop, I hear a rotating noise, kind of like something is hung up inside the wheel, but visible inspection revealed nothing. No warning lights are popping up on my control panel, but the noise is getting louder and rather annoying. Complete breaking system replaced about 6 months ago, regular oil changes done in accordance with schedule. Any ideas, folks?

it sounds to me like you have inferior gas in the tank, or some water has gotten in your fuel. you may be able to add a little denatured alcohol to the gas and it may burn off the water. good luck
Any chance the fluid in the rear differential is low or empty due to a leak of some kind?? That's sure the first thing I'd check. It may also have nothing to do with your drive line. Do you have DEEP DEEP treads on your rear tires or "knobby" tires designed for rough terrain or off roading?? I know those can make one HECK of a racket at highway speeds.
check the idle air and throttle for excessive carbon build up or sticking. this can be cleaned with some throttle body cleaner and a little time, most times. some more information would help. is the engine light on? any major service been done or even minor? number of miles? how long has this happened?
MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU 3X AS MUCH AS IT WOULD AT A PRIVATE SHOP.THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ONLY THE DEALER CAN HANDLE,BUT ANYONE CAN DO THIS ONE.IVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 20 YEARS.
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.
