    Just took a guess and changed out the front drivers side bearing assembly.
    Been experiencing a constant humm while the truck was moving.
    It definitely was that hub going bad.
    Got the assembly at O'Reilly for $170 and watched the shortest and most detail how-to vid from "FixItPhillip"
    https://youtu.be/BCP3wxUs-Vs?si=wHmM0Spwjzv-pY0p
    Had it changed out in under 2 hours.
    Jack the front end up at the center rubber post, that I had read about on a thread here.

    minor tweaks
    Nice job! Were you able to feel any play in the bad bearing prior to swapping the bearing out?

    No play what so ever. Kinda the reason I wasn't sure if it was a bearing that was making the humming noise.
    Once I took the brake rotor off and could easily spin the bearing, I could hear the bearings.

    Brute Force, but I modified the bumper to accept new lights. Bought it in 2012 I believe.

    Finally got around to installing a set of TRD wheels and 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak tires. Also put in LED taillights. I need to find some time to put in the matching headlights and TRD PRO grille.
