It began when I made left hand turns, there would be a vibration in the truck, like the tire was rubbing in the wheel well. Two days later I made a left hand turn and a noise of metal on metal grinding started, while i was driving. Now it is a loud grinding noise whenever the truck is moving forward. What could this be and about how much do you think it would be to fix?

Sounds like a wheel bearing, and or a bad brake pad. Decide which wheel you think it is and pull that wheel to look at at the brake shoes or pads. feel for roughness when you turn the wheel by hand.

Could be wheel bearing. Make sure your tire isn't rubbing anything. Make sure you haven't blown any of the steel belts in your tire. Typically if it was your bearing it would have slowly gotten louder, not just all of a sudden unless you hit something. Good luck
If you swerve the car back and forth and the sound dissapeers when swerving to the left( reducing the weight on front left tire) this could indicate a wheel bearing problem
Sounds like a front wheel bearing. Try this, lift up the front end, grab the wheel, hand on top and bottom. try shaking the tire. it shouldn't wobble. if it does, theres your issue. if its tight, try spinning the tire as fast as you can by hand and listen, chances are you'll here it. Good luck!
Vibration at 40 mph hard to diagonisis without looking at front end. Could be wheels need balancing, new wheels and rims. Loose or worn suspension items.
Bring vehicle into a tire and alignment shop. Most Sears auto center have them.
With regards to rubbing noise again hard to diagonisis without looking at the affected tire, probably a splash shield hitting the tire in reverse.
Alignment shop will find the problem.
There could be a lot of reason for vibrations on your steering, One reason could be is that your wheels need to be balanced. Car tires, can go out of shape and the farther the tire shape becomes from a circular shape the more vibrations you may encounter. Another is bad bushings, ball joints or tie rods especially when you turn and in some cases these problem can be tested by moving the wheel laterally as if trying to turn it by hand on the outside. Some cases it could be bad shocks.
usually noise complaint can be pretty tricky to repair. especially if its intermittent. since you say it only when its cold my first guess would have to be a wheel bearing. some other things you can check is how the tires are wearing. when you rub your hand along the tread is it smooth or does the tread catch your hand. if your tires aren't wearing smooth noise complaints can be heard while slightly turning, braking, or even accelerating.also if its a wheel bearing you can lift the vehicle up in the rear (turn off your dsc) and run the rear tires up to speed. usually you can hear a loud wheel bearing. also you can drive the vehicle and swerve back and forth and see if the nosie changes. depending on which side of the vehicle suspension is being loaded
