    06 DBL CAB 4x4 offroad V6 6speed, it sounds like a serpentine belt type noise, I know it's not the belt I ruled that out by shutting the truck off while rolling and noise is still there. It's intermittent noise stops when you get to 10mph or less, for the life of me I cannot figure out what it could be, and help will be much appreciated!!!!

    Might be the idler pulley. Or another pulley.
    These trucks are known to eat pullies pretty quick.

    But it does it with the engine off so I've ruled out engine related

    Could be wheel bearings, or brake caliper dragging. Lift the front up, and check for any grinding feeling in the wheels, or sounds of scraping from the brakes,.

    It could be as simple as something stuck in the caliper, or wheel area. Keep us posted on what you find.
