    So i have been having this loud humming sound coming from my left front tire. Everything had been driving fine and what not. But i want to sell it so i started to dig around and ask questions at the local auto part stores about the problem. come to find out it is a bad wheel bearing. the good thing about being stationed in the coast guard is all the tools and people that can help you out. so i bought the bearing and figured i could fix it after reading a few posts of other doing it. let me tell you it took 4 hours to change. When i pulled the bearing off the spine there was so much dirt and crap. Plus the bearing smelled so burned. when I had to pull apart the press parts i had to rig some crazy stuff. but after i put it back together and test drove it i was so HAPPY, there was no loud humming sound coming from the front. so that is what i did today.

    It's a super right fit I had to cut some of the cab to make it fit.

    I may have do this soon i think. I may have a bad wheel bearing. Was noticeable when cruising or just going slow? Could you hear and feel it when you spun the tire? Thanks!
    Good job on the fix aswell! :D

    Installed Rockford Fosgate 10" P3S and Kenwood KAC-7205 amp. Just hooked it up to the stock radio for now, but with adjustments it has definitely improved the sound of the OEM system. Actually has some low-end now.

    Nice. It's such a difference between the stock speakers. I laughed at how puny the stock magnets were.
