Humming sound from the front end

[Rich Houghtaling]

Just purchased a 2015 ram 1500 with 42000 miles. I've noticed that there is a humming coming from the front end at higher speeds. Almost sounds like knobby tire but it has just normal road tires on it. Is this a normal thing for a dodge? New to the dodge truck family. Thanks

Could be a wheel bearing going out. Might ought to get it checked out.

I own a 2013 ram 1500 with the same issue. I recently had the front L CV replaced as well as the axle. I notice this sound happens at any speed and gets worse the faster the vehicle is traveling. I was thinking it might be the carrier bearing on the driveshaft but I have not had a chance to diagnose the issue with 4wd engaged. Do you notice the sound evne after a recent diff fluid change? I had an inspection done and all was clear but this sound irritates me and was definitely not an issue prior to the axle replacement. Hope your issue is not serious as I hope my issue is not serious as well. Let me know how things turn out or if you get any updates. Also you can check out my post about a whirring sound from the front end.

Either a bad CV or wheel bearing.

Is it a 4x4? I had a hub hang up and stay engaged in my 2000 Dodge after shifting to 2wd and it made some funny noises.
