2006 dodge dakota p/u - Discussion on Topix

Sounds like a wheel bearing assembly failing.

Have the wheel bearings been checked?

If the sound is coming from the rear of your Dodge, then it could be your differential going out on you. Could also be your tires to making the sound. Your hubs would make more of a grinding tire sound if they were bad

It can be some wheel bearing.

I would start by checking your wheel bearings. Do this by pushing back and forth on the top of your tire or car near the tire. If the tire wobbles back and forth at all your hub assembly should be replaced. For this problem I would check for this first.

I don't have a solution, but I thought it was really strange (coincidence?) that you reported this in June of 2010, and here it is September 2010 I just ran into the same problem. Same year truck (2001) and same tire (paasenger side rear). Only I heard a lot of noise coming from what I thought was a flat tire. So I had my brother drive the truck while I got in the bed of the truck and located the sorce of the noise. When he applied the brakes it looked as though the tire was going to come right off and I was like "Holy ****.....stop the truck!"

One lug was actually already broken but the tire was very loose on the hub. I then went to tighten the other lugs and 2 more snapped off (total of 3 broken) trying to tighten them. So the others sustained stress from all the movement which made them weaker. Right now I have 3 (maybe 4 can't remember now?) holding that tire on until I fix it.

Is this a defect in the 2001 Dodge Dakota? (I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad cab with a 4.7 and about 95k miles). I was also hoping I woudn't have to take the who rear axle out. Once I get it up on the lift I'll be able to see it better.

humming noise usually comes from wheel bearings. did you change that with a new bearing? also choppy or worn tires can cause humming noise that sounds like bad wheel bearings. rotate your tires and see if the noise changes. if so its tires. also even if it sounds like its from the right it could very well be a bad bearing in another location.

could be power steering pump low on fluid

this is at least one bad wheel bearing, the bearing that is bad will be on the side of the direction you steer that lessens the noise.
