I figured out all the other noises I had.

I got my wheels and what not on Thursday. Thing runs fine, doesn't seem to lag, no serious problems.

Now, When I start the truck, i get a noise as if something is rubbing. I have
checked the spacing on everything (when i say everything, I mean it), and everything seems to be in order. I have checked belts, the fan, driveshaft, anything I can see/get to. Neither me or my dad can figure what this sound is. It kind of sounds like a cats purr (its not a cat but the same kind of noise) and it comes around with every rotation.

The sound has only occured when I put the wheels on.
Any insight?

Both. It'll make this noise all the way up to the last gear in the trans. (automatic so Im not sure how many there are).

Shifts into the final gear, and goes away...

wtf. it's haunted. it's that spooky ass white color you got goin on.

maybe a u-joint issue...? mine would make a small vibration that eventually got worse. but you said you checked teh driveshaft.

where's it come from? below you? behind you? in front? do you "feel" it?

Come to find out, I lost a bolt to the PS Pump bracket. Thing was rattling like crazy. Grabbed a bolt, tightened that up and its fine.

Now to fix the PS, Oil and radiator leak!

Thanks again guys...for now.
