Like going down the highway at highway speed. If the wheels are turned not much and I didn't notice it making a difference.Does it make noise going straight? Wheels turned?
Dry needle bearings in a u-joint or bad spindle bearing are also the first things to come to mind. That said I have seen and driven plenty of trucks that are just missing the spindle bearing, seal/thrust washer/outer washers & clip and they made no noise at all.
You'd think if it was something in the t-case or differential it would make noise in 4wd with the hubs unlocked so it seems safe to me to rule that out.
