Metal on metal sound.
I hear a metal on metal scraping/screeching sound with the windows down and only when i drive by guard rails and other stuff sound reflects off of. I saw the traveling hub zerk thread and that's what made me think of it. I've zerked every fitting I've seen, but this ones new to me. Problem is I can't even tell witch wheel (if any) it's coming from. It's consistent with speed.

Not sure if this is it or not, but I had a similar noise. It turned out to be one of the front hubs. The outer o-ring on the turn **** was working its way out of the hub. Try putting it in 4wd high(while driving straight) if it goes away it's the same issue I had. Took hub apart and cleaned and regreased everything. No more noise. It was the gear that had 2 rows of teeth that locks the axle to the hub they were rubbing ever so slightly.
