Noticed the other day when I was driving on the highway my truck started humming when I was accelerating past 30. From a dead stop to 30 its fine, but after it starts humming. Its only when I have my foot on the pedal. When I let off, it stops. The sound is coming from the rear/under. Any ideas?
I would say yes because there has been one case very recently where a drive shaft has come apart and wrecked a whole 4wd transmission with broken cases from the drive shaft cross tees letting go.
You have to use some common sense to know a 6000 lbs truck turning the drive shaft , plus the forward momentum, plus the motor in gear through the transmission, plus the road sped will twist until something comes apart and lets go of the possible restriction of movement.
If you have warning before hand and lose a $3000 transmission all because you put it off, it's your fault.
At least find the issue and make a judgement.
Hell, the driveshaft could even end up coming through the cab or bed floor.
Good luck.
