Ive replaced all u- joints and the center pilot ball or what ever it is on the driveshaft, I also noticed that if I turn to right it stops, if im just cruising along and let of accelerator it makes the sound, but then if I slightly give it some gas to stay at a steady speed it doesn't do it. but I do think that caliper needs replaced because its the only one giving off the brake dust. Also could the u-joint that is on the axle behind the rotor cause this, I didn't change them but it is just a thought. How do I list my truck in my sig ?

For your sig, go to User CP (link in title bar of forum), and then should be a link to "edit sig".

Can you get the truck to make the noise on jackstands?

Any updates? Have you pulled the wheel off and inspected anything?

no I haven't, gonna try to do that tommaro, had to go watch mud bog today. lol We had it on the lift and spun the tires but no noise, that's when we found the drivers side bearing making a slight snagging sound while spinning the wheel and that it had movement so I told the garage to replace it, is 50.00 to change it out a good price? I would do it but right now my hip is out 1 1/2 out of place, makes it rough to do anything like this. lol By changing the drivers side it did quiet down a little, but there is still something clearly wrong on passenger side. Thinking I may just order passenger side from rock auto(60.00) pick up a new caliper(I wanted to replace anyways) and maybe do the U-joint behind the hub.

If you turn the bearing by hand, how does it feel? Should be smooth. If its "crunchy" at all, replace the bearing.

Sounds like the hub bearing to me. When mine went it did exactly what you're describing. Id replace it just to be sure.
