Hi guys, i noticed this noise just when we were about ready to pack for Florida. The noise is not too loud yet, but i know if it's the rear axle will be very costly to repair, and something that i certainly could'nt do by myself.
I'm thinking it could be a rear bearing but bad bearings are noisy even when coasting, right?... this humming stops when i remove my foot from the accelerator. If it's the rear axle, about how much time/mileage i have left before it becomes undrivable or unsafe? The truck has 83000 miles and i bought it new. Any experiences with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
