I have this truck in really good condition. It has solid front axle and I have checked from wheel bearings for play. Front and rear brakes are very new with rotors and pads both high quality.
I worry that there might be a problem in my differential but don't know if they are prone to having bearing problems in there and I've never done any service on gears. My front pinion seal is leaking slightly but the fluid level is still nearly full.
U joints are tight as far as I can tell. The wheels won't wiggle left right or up down.
It does this mild rumbling that I can feel in the brake pedal which first started happening when I was doing left turns but now it happens when going straight as well. It's not something loud enough to be obvious without the feeling in the brake pedal. I can't feel it in the steering wheel.

I haven't checked the back brakes at all because the seller told me he had just had them done not long ago. It's a dually so I don't know what to expect when I take them apart. Would I just disassemble and look at the brake pads and rotors to make sure they're in good condition?
