I think my drivers side bearing is bad

It seems to act up more when theres more braking, it was kinda warm out too. It was fine late that night it dropped down in the 30s. Does it seem like it maybe a bearing out?

Metal expands when warm, so yes, it makes sense. It sounds like your muffler bearings are shot

Lol.....Oh no....I better check my blinker fluid too

When it starts acting up, are you hearing noise from that area or is it a vibration you can feel?

Its a grinding sound from the drivers side, I know i can feel it sometimes...Maybe i can catch a soundclip of it later tonight, I can try that and post it.

Jack the truck up. If it's bad the wheel will be easily wiggled around in all directions. If so, REPLACE.

No sound clip necessary.

It could be your tires as well. I had a rhythmic grinding at about 30-40 mph, and it was my tire cupping the inside tread. Try rotating your tires. I had my "truck" tires running too low PSI (32) causing them to cup. Easy to do- and free- to eliminate as a possible cause. My tires were about 9 months old at the time, I never even considered them to me bad until I rotated them...

I just happened to get new tires in february....Im constantly having to either let air out or having to add air....I tryed to get it to grind tonight and no luck...tryed hard braking and trying to make that tire spin in gravel nothing worked to get what i wanted it to do. I could try rotating....if that doesnt work its gonna get traded in later in summer if it doesnt start behaving.
