Squeal from front right

2000, B4000, automatic, 40 000 miles

I hear a squeal, very high pitch, when the truck is in motion. It varies slightly with speed, not related to engine speed.

It doesnt change pitch when I turn, or press the brakes.

Seems to be better on rainy / wet days oddly enough.

Seems to be coming from front right side.

Im not too sure what it could be, any suggestions anyone.

Thanks.

Question

Welcome to FTE.
That's a curious one! Have you checked for play in that wheel bearing?
I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Is that PHITTY as in 2 PHITTY, or a buck PHITTY?
King of the Hill's Hank Hill's dad says it that way.

I havent noticed significant play in the wheel but will check again more carefully this weekend.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me...
