help with unknown noise

I have a grinding, rumbling noise kinda like bad baring sound in front most on left. Had all barings, shocks, brakes and rotors etc. checked at two different shops. No one seems to be able to find anything wrong. The noise is niticed at 10 to 25mph and decreases when push on brakes and is more noticeable when let off the brakes. See sig. for type of truck.

it has got to be the brakes,either bad rotors or brake pads.When going down the road and you apply the brakes does the truck pull one way.

Also I forgot to mention that it is herd even in neutral rolling at 10-20mpg. I put it in neutral, 4x4, 1st gear,2nd gear etc. It still makes the same noise. Truck has 38,000 miles on it.

The truck stops fine and does not pull one way or the other nor does the brake peddle bounce. The noise is not real loud but is irritating to me. It feels and sounds like a rolling grinding thing. The mech is going to bring me the truck in a minute and let me show him what I hear.

After going thru and cleaning the brakes, he found nothing wrong. But he said the front tires had some cupping. He rotated the tires and the noise is gone.
