I don't know what you mean by a humming noise, but if its a whine it could be the pinion bearings going bad. But like thunder98110 said, we need more info!

I'm not sure where the noise is coming from. But it's only when on the gas. I just put in a rear end with only 56k on it. Its a 9.25 12 bolt with limited slip. The truck made the noise before i changed the rear end.

The truck is an 01 3.9 Auto

Typical Dodge. It's happiest when you're on the gas!

Wheelbearing, cv axle, ball joints, i heard the same noise and checked them all and they all were bad. if you turn left or right and it sounds like your rubbing it's definitly your wheelbearing
