    Ok this is driving me nuts but I get a weird humming noise up front it seems when its usually cold or first start taking off in the morning. It only happens at 900-1000 rpm ONLY!!!!!! It can be either in drive or neutral but notice it mostly when I turn the wheel little. NO vibration from it whatsoever. Anyone know what this could be???

    Is it right at startup, then goes away after several seconds? There's an air pump that pushes fresh air through your exhaust to dilute the dirtier emissions from a cold engine at startup.

    I had a similar noise, it was heat shields on the exhaust. Added someone high quality hose clamps on it and it has been good for the last two years.

    I will check that, matter of fact now that you say that I did change the air filter about month - 2 months ago and I don't remember it doing that before then so could of shifted perhaps!

    yeah mine made the noise at about the same rpm and when I would put it in reverse and turn left or putting it in park and letting it idle. it seemed to be more frequent when I had a passenger. it was weird. not its gone though
