Default Noise in 2004 Hemi Reg Cab.

I purchased a 2004 Hemi 1500 regular cab pick-up and it has a noise when trying to keep speed between 45 and 50 MPH. Had it to the dealer several times and they have replaced several things (drive shaft, transmission and bearings). Last thing the dealer told me was that it was characteristic of the truck (Hemi, regular cab and short bed). Anyone else having or have had this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

That is pretty vague. Where does the noise come from? How loud is it? Is it intermittent, or all the time at that speed?

Yeah, need more details, please.

It's clear that your dealer gave up and decided to simply feed you a line. I'm surprised the line didn't come first (no pun intended); it's the way many dealers seem to work.

More specific?

The noise sounds like a bearing going out and is there when trying to maintain a speed between 45 and 50. The noise is there all the time, at 45 to 50, and sounds like it's coming from underneath the truck. It is louder if you have the rear window open, but you can still hear it when the window is closed.

If you cannot further localize it, front, middle, rear, left or right, have you considered tires? Typically, tires are noisy in a wider speed range, but I've heard some that sounded like a set of bad wheel bearings after they got some miles on them.

Any noticeable vibration with the noise?

Sound clip from 40mph-55mph?
