I been dealing with a grainding noise in the front end when i drive between 25 and 35 mph after or before that, noise goes away. Recently i rebuilted my automatic transmision and the machanic told me the rear end was making noise and i rebuilted the differential (the gears were damaged). But still same noise is still there. I checked the front wheel hubs and seal there are ok, one of them seal was damaged and i replaced wheel hub and seal and still same fu^$#& noise is still there.

My drive shaft ujoins are bad and i know becouse when i change reverse or drive i can hear i drive shaft noise. My question is :

The u joins can possible make this noise between 25-35 mph?

It's been a pain in the b#%%$!

Help please!

U-joints make a squeaking, or chirping noise when going out. If you have an aluminum driveshaft it may make a little noise when shifting.

I would guess you have bad front wheel bearings. Jack up the truck and spin the front tires, check for notchy or grinding feeling.
