looking for a favour.......
Okay if anyone has gotten this far, so far so good.
Here is what i am looking for.........
My boy is living in the city and his truck is making some bad sounds. I was in S'toon yesterday for a couple hours and couldn't really check it out properly.
He doesn't have any money to take it to a garage and let them empty his shallow pockets so I'm hoping someone here could take a look at it for him, maybe make a little money if it's something repairable, or even just a diagnosis.
The truck is a tired old chev S10. It is a driveline noise but not there all the time.
Related to vehicle speed. Sounds like a revolving metallic grind.
Can't tell which corner of the truck, but thinking maybe the front.
Applying brakes or turning L or R makes no change to sound.
If some one could do this great, let me know. If not that's okay too.

It's the wheel bearing, front end one day the wheel will fall off.
Before the wheel falls off you loose the brakes for a moment then one end of the truck falls and a thus blows a tire. Been there done that.

PM me with the info, make/model/year and ill pass it on. Maybe a more descriptive than a "metal grinding noise" too. Like all the time, during braking, during accel, during cruising spd, at 10kph/20kph/30 kph etc

my bro read the post and this is what he told me "ok, i agree with snowking, it does sound liek wheel bearings to me too, if it doesnt grind untill the trucks been driven for a bit but doesnt go away its a bearing rather then a brake pad"

Well i thought wheel bearing too, but i couldn't jack up the truck. I did rock the front hard side to side and heard or felt no looseness......(not a good indication i agree)
The noise is just that....a grinding metallic sound, like maybe a wheel bearing, my first thought was driveshaft.
Happens almost continuous from 20K and up. Makes no change to the sound when braking or turning a corner L or R. As the speed increases the sound increases in frequency, realted to vehicle speed. A quick test drive will reveal the sound if some one were to take this on.
Truck is a 89 Chev S10 2.5?, 5 speed

I had a front brake drag on me one time that sounded similiar to that. It happened even if i didnt have the brake engaged. I noticed it go away at higher speeds but that could have been because the car was noisey in the first place.
