Is it 2wd or 4wd?
Check your wheel bearings.
Jack up the truck....... use jack stands....be safe.
Spin each front wheel and hold your hand on a suspension part close to the wheel to "feel" the bearing vibration/roughness.
One or both may feel and/or sound noisy.

If it is a 4x4 you could have a wheel bearing problem and/or a bad front differential bearing.

Also check the tires for rough tread areas as in cupping areas along the surface tread of the tires......this makes a heck of a noise too.

Sounds like the cooling fan clutch to me, look under the hood next time you hear it, will be easy to confirm if that is the noise.

Rumbling/growling coming from front end

CV joints if you notice a difference when cornering, poping like noice is wheel bearings. Check CV boot to see if there is any separation in the boot that would allow the grease to get contaminated.
