Rumble sound when turning
I've been noticing a rumble type sound only when I make turns. I was towing a small trailer yesterday, with considerable weight, and the rumble sound was worse when making turns. Any ideas??

Good grief.. here we go again. Lets start with a little more info... this "rumbling", is there some particular part of the truck the sound seems to be coming from? g_k loves to make "worst case" assumptions honestly I think to scare people for no good reason. Whatever the reason before you go assuming as he has that you are stuck in a worst case scenario, lets concentrate on establishing where the noise is coming from.

I'm pretty sure it's the differential, probably the crown lost some teeths, and yes, the work can be expensive, but i don't think it will get to be as expensive as it was stated before (search around, you'll find the parts for less money, the labor can be costly and it's a MUST if you never touched a diff. before).

Any shop that's in business to make money is going to suggest that the broken axle be taken off and a replacement used axle be put on. This may not be the cheapest route to go but it makes the most sense to a business owner interested in fixing the problem correctly with the least amount of skilled labor required.
