HELP - Noise

Hi all.... I have a problem with noise when I'm breaking. It sounds almost like a car down shifting or large tires on road. (am I making sense?). Last year I did put new tires and rims on her, but the noise just started. I am also getting a whining noise at 30mph. After 35 - 40mph it goes away. I just replaced brakes, rotors and drums. Noise happened before and after. I took it to two shops one being a tranny place. They don't know and they see no prob with tranny and didn't get any codes. They tell me to bring back if it gets louder or changes. It has to be something... I had her for two years and it didn't sound like this before. Any help will be appreciated. ![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Honestly, I can't really tell where the noise is coming from. I open my windows to try and hear it but the outside noise drowns it out. Keep in mind I am just a girl and not mechanical savvy.
I can hear it better when the windows are closed and I have to have the radio turned down. It's not very loud.

Are there any leaks near the front axle=maybe it's low on gear oil and also check transfer case for leaks and might as well check the rear axle too.You might also try swapping the front tires to the back and seeing if the noise changes or goes away.When you replaced the brake rotors did they cut them"turn them down" or replace them=some place don't 'mic' the rotors after turning and they get warped after awhile especially noticeable after driving in stop and go traffic.

LOL... I have the Haynes repair manual, everytime I buy a new truck I make sure I get the manual to learn alil so when I do go to a repair shop, I go in acting like I know what is wrong (usually I'm right) and they won't try to rape me. I got new rotors just two weeks ago. I don't have any leaks. I always look for that because my Grand Cherokee had a leak and my rear differential went, so now I'm always aware to look. I also looked at the axles and the undercarriage is dry.

Other thing=is the truckfull time 4x4 or a partime=look at transfer shifter=if it has 2h,4h,n,4l=partime try switching into then back out of 4h at about 20 mph=wait about 4mins between switching in and out and if it's dry{no rain} out=try to travel down a straight road or parking lot in a straight path because partime 4x4 doesn't like dry conditions.If you have the fulltime 4x4 make sure it's not in 4 wheel locked only 4 high.see if the whine goes away.And how many miles are on the truck?
