High Speed humming

When I get to 75+ mph I get a weird humming sound . It sounds like its right in the middle of the Excursion like between the driver and passenger front seats. Do you guys think it might be the carrier bearing. How much do those usually cost.

Philip I see you have the 6637 intake on your ride. I ordered mine from Clay but it wont be here till friday . I have to get that stock intake off. I have a Excursion 7.3 and we love it. I had DP flash the CPU and now this thing is a rocket. Im gonna straight pipe it next week. I dont really care for racing but I am really looking for for mpg. I've been looking for tweaks for that.

I hope my turbo is alright when I pull the intake off. Ive only had my Excursion for 3 weeks now. Where would you get ball joints at. I hope they are all right. I get a thump sound under the pedals when I turn. Ive been working 56-62 hours a week here lately so time has been restrained here lately. I work for Carlisle Tire.

I had a good time in Newport a couple weeks ago. It was hot but fun. The high light of the day was when I got dp tunes flashed and I was so amazed when I got it out on the road afterwards. I had a smile ear to ear.

Check the EBPV tube on the pass. side manifold it runs up the front of the engine by the HPOP. I checked mine about 2 weeks ago because I was avg. 14.5mpg. It wasnt bad at all but I cleaned it anyways and Ive been averaging 15.5mpg sence then and I havent done anythng else to the truck, 15.92 avg mpg best to date and that was blowing a lot of smoke too
