I started noticing this noise a few days ago and its slowly starting to get worse (Video included). My truck is a 2008 1500 5.7 4wd. I took the driver side wheel off and looked around and I couldn’t find anything. Maybe someone can help or give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you thought about getting someone bouncing on the rear bumper and you look and listen under your truck?

Wheel bearings. Don’t let them go too long, otherwise you will oval out your axel housing and they are 900$ from junkyard.

Does it happen only when accelerating, decelerating, coasting, or all the time? I had a U-joint once that made a similar noise, but only while coasting. When I applied power, or was slowing down on compression, it got quiet. But I also think SYKRAMMAN is probably on to something and you should check out the wheel bearings.
