2013 Lariat - Left Front Tire Humming Sound Similar To Mud Tires
Hello everyone and an early "Happy Thanksgiving" to you all!
I have a slight problem with left front tire. It started about a month ago and is intermediate at the moment.
I have a 2013 Lariat Supercrew 5.0 and about a month ago I was driving my truck on a two hour trip and noticed a strange sound coming from my left front tire.
It sounds similar to people who have mud tires on their trucks, it a low "humming" sound that sometimes sounds like a grind but more like humming.
This noise happens randomly. It started becoming noticeable between 30-40 mph and also if I let off the gas while coasting down the highway it would do it.
Now it happens randomly between all speeds, when I left off the brake, and when I also apply the brake to slow down.
I have take the truck to the dealership twice, they don't know what is causing it. The first time they rotated my tires to see if it would go away - it didn't. The second time (yesterday) they told me that it *might* be a wheel bearing assembly that would cost me $400 to fix.
That's a big expense for something that *MIGHT* fix the issue and *might* not. They never bothered to actually inspect the hub or anything like that, after I repeatedly asked them to after watching a Youtube video on an issue that sounds similar.
So I'm not sure what could be causing the issue. It is only on the left front tire. I don't want it to get any worse though so I felt like I needed to make a post see if any of you guys might have experienced a similar issue.
For the record I have the 100k mile powertrain warranty but I'm not sure if this wheel issue would cover it and of course the dealer acted like they didn't know either.
Thank you in advance for your help!
