Bad Transmission or Wheel Bearing?

Bad Transmission or Wheel Bearing?
Can't thank you guys enough for this forum. I recently replaced my plenum pan and gasket with an aluminum pan and new gasket. Also was having a low idle and stalling out afterwards. I replaced the O2 sensors because they had a CEL but that didn't fix the idle problems so I replaced the IAC Valve and viola... Idles at 800 and I couldn't make it stall out even by trying.
Well throughout this whole process I noticed a strange roaring sound I haven't noticed before. It roars when the truck is moving and it gets louder with speed. RPM doesn't effect the loudness only the speed of the vehicle. It also gets kinda shakey sometimes... With no change at RPM and changing at certain speeds I hope the transmission is ruled out. Weird that a wheel bearing would decide to go out on me right after I fixed the plenum problem though. I'm by no means a mechanic but would love a hint. Thanks guys!

I've never touched them, The Tires are new and the brakes are fairly new. I'm hoping its a front one. What tools will I need if it is a front one? Again I'm not sure it's a wheel bearing thats making the roaring sound. I just hope it's not the transmission. I don't know too much about cars but this process has been a learning experience. I dove right in.

Well to check it takes 2 seconds just jack it up and shake the tire.
No special tools, you don't need air tools but they are definately a bonus - even those electric ones you can buy (I have one for simple jobs) help out a lot. Only thing you'll probably have to buy is a 32mm socket for the axle nut, wouldn't come in any socket sets since its so big. Now, double check that a 32mm would fit, thats what I found online and my dak was 32mm but i've seen people with a 31mm nut too.

Agree. Get the wheel off the ground and grab on to it. If get a lot of movement it is hub bearing. And you should be able hear it if it is bad.
