Question Humming
Truck is making a humming sound at 50-65 mph and when turning left only.
If it is at highway speed it goes away when letting off the gas.
Any ideas?

Right front wheel bearing most likely.

Turning left loads the weight to the right front wheel, and a wheel bearing noise is more pronounced when loaded. The opposite is true that when you take the weight away, in most cases you will hear nothing at all. That's why you can't normally tell which wheel bearing is noisy when your spinning the wheels on a hoist.
