hollow noise coming from the dana 35

ok my truck is making a hollow noise(kinda like if i had superswampers) from the front end, it sounds like its coming from the ring and pinoion or maybe even the front driveshaft, does anyone have and idea what could be wrong?

Wheel bearings..... The front drive shaft & diff don't rotate unless the hubs are locked, or your in 4x4...

I know exactly what your talking about. The sound is like you have big ol mud tires, but you don't. Right? Have your front wheel bearings repacked.

wow i just had them replaced in late november 05', why do they wear soo fast?

They are designed too close together and the stock lock-nut loosens up regularly. It could also be the bearings in your differential. Use a stephoscope or long screwdriver to listen to different areas while simulating it being driven while it is up on a lift.
