need more info cause I am not sure what you are describing. does it only do it while truck is moving or will it do it sitting still? does it sound like a tire rubbing on something maybe? is it only in 4WD or both?

Maybe he is talking about a low power steering pump noise... God knows PS leaks and bad pumps happen to 3rd gens.
