Help diagnose humming/howling sound

Just got the truck little over a month ago; took it to the dealer on Saturday and had the rear end serviced, fluids changed. Pulled the trailer on Sunday with no sound; dealer said the fluid had not have been changed and was the reason I was hearing the sound. I'll keep an eye on it........ I'll probably have the fluid changed again in about a month just to be on the safe side......

No problems; pulled the trailer to Cherokee, NC. Averaged about 12 mpg on the trip. Funny thing, once we unhooked the trailer the truck seems to be getting better gas milage, not sure about this one........ In Va Beach I was getting around 12-14 mpg and now it's stuck on 16.5 per gallon; maybe the work pulling the trailer cleaned out the pipes.....

Try driving around that speed and swerve left and then right. See if the sound changes or comes and goes. If it changes when you swerve then it could be a hub bearing going out. Just finally had to replace my driver side front a few months ago at 129k miles. Sounded fine until I went around a curve and then it would make the most horrific grinding sound during the curve.
