Thank you, I will check that. Also, found the source of my excessive compressor cycling. High head pressure caused by hot condenser, caused by lack of air flow, caused by mechanic leaving fan clutch disconnected after replacing my water pump. Hoo-boy!

Hey everyone, I've seemingly looked to the edges of the universe for a diagram or image of the receiver/drier for our A/C system. Anyone have an idea of it's whereabouts? Specifically seeking the high pressure switch as it may be leading to the compressor cycling excessively. From what I have...

Well, it was the other side. Thankfully the bearing is the same for either side so I just put the old good bearing on the passenger side. So, the bad bearing gets quieter when you increase the load on it or turning away from that side. Exact opposite what I read on the internet. Must have been...

I bought it used so can't say for sure if it is more than 5 years old. Local dealer isn't all that anyway so I don't mind to learn more about my truck. :-)

Thank you Katoom, I will do these tests. The noise is there in straight ahead path so it does seem odd that it would be the u-joint. Nonetheless I am curious to see the results of your tests. The u-joint is definitely not loose since I checked for that specifically while I had the wheel bearing...

Yep, that's what I thought first too. The noise was there in straight ahead path and worse when turning to the right. This led me to believe it was the left front wheel bearing. Changed it and the noise is still there.

The truck is a '14 with 100,075 miles.

Katoom, I've never had a 4 x 4 truck with u-joints in the knuckles, always had CV joints. Is it possible that the u-joint can just be "beginning to go" bad and not yet bad enough to see it? The joint feels snug, like not sloppy yet. There are no grease fittings on them so I'm guessing that...

Hopefully someone is still following this thread. The noise got bad enough to become a vibration that I could feel in the steering wheel. So, that led me to believe it was the front rather than the rear. Ordered a new bearing and replaced it, oops, was not the problem, still have the noise. So...

Found a good article in the Turbo Diesel Register last night regarding hub bearings. How timely...

I might just end up replacing the front left bearing assembly and if it's not bad set it aside and save for future if the new one goes bad. LOL! Too bad they weren't the same bearing assembly for left and right.

Did use my stethoscope this morning and set the tip on the back side of the front hub right next to the knuckle u-joint. While spinning the right side hub I did notice that it free wheeled longer in reverse direction than it did in forward direction. Thought that was odd it had lower resistance...

Yea, wondering if they just aren't bad enough yet to make the noise with the weight of the truck off the bearing.

I hadn't considered the front driveshaft since the noise seemed to be biased to one side. Will check this too, now.

Thank you Katoom. The tires have just now 15,000 miles on them. I've completed their third rotation and the noise didn't get louder or quieter afterwards. Is there an easy way to determine if it's front or rear bearing? Or, is the front or rear most likely to fail early?

2014 2500 4x4 with CTD and 99,000 miles For about 2,000 miles I have been hearing a growling noise that is speed related. Was first only at speeds greater than 40'ish mph but now starts at speeds as slow as 20 mph. It's a steady growl, no harmonics to it at any speed. The interesting thing is...

Frost, I thought about using the existing horn circuit but I've always been disappointed with the lag time between pressing the steering wheel and waiting for the horn to honk. Maybe that's better in the newer models but my 14 is bad. The stock horn can be accessed on my truck by opening a trap...

Finally finished. Got a small leak somewhere but otherwise very pleased with the results. Sounds awesome!https://youtu.be/6MpdfAEk6vk

Thank you!

Has anyone ever removed the front bumper? Difficult or not. I need to mount something inside/behind the bumper and it won't fit through the bumper slot.
