Bias ply tires noise? Ujoint noise? Or???
I notice when Im driving say anywheres around 40-80km or so I hear something that Im not sure if it is road noise from my bias plys or a bad ujoint or something else. I used to have an 80Chevy4x4 with 35" mudders and the noise sounds the same as the noise that those tires made when driving on the highway. Except one thing, it isnt a constant hum (is that what you would call it). It is kind of there for a second gone for a second there for a second gone for a second, etc. The front ujoint on my rear driveshaft has a tiny bit of play in it so I am wondering if that is what it could be? I bought a new ujoint today and am going to install it this weekend sometime. Or could it be because I have bias ply tires? I am thinking probably not since it should be a constant hum if it was the tires correct? Could it be anything else? wheel bearings? differential gears? or???
Thanks again guys!

It`s hard to say what the problem, the u-joint is a good start. Since it needs replacing anyways try that and let us know what happens.

I am driving with my NP205 in 2wd and hubs not locked, so no 4x4 isnt running, but it could still be the ujoint on the driveshaft from the transfer case to the rear differential not the one to the front.
I will let you know if theres any difference once I change the ujoint.

i would blame the tires. if its a constant hum that dissappears at a stop, its gotta be something driveline. u-joints will knock more than hum...not constant?? transmission?? auto or manual??

Like I said it isnt a constant hum, it fades in and out, but does that consistantly. It is a manual transmission.
And sorry I didnt see your question above... I am about 100KM east of Saskatoon.
