So, I've been getting a humming noise from what sounded like the left front wheel bearing since I bought the truck back in April. Usually only at freeway speeds around 60-70mph. Didn't put too much thought into it since I don't drive the freeway much, and just figured I'd tackle it this winter when I have a little more free time to tinker. But the noise started to happen between 40-50mph now. So tonight I had it up in the air doing my fuel filter, and decided to shake things down a bit. Wheel bearings tight. Steering and suspension tight. Rear u-joints tight. Almost just skipped past it and wasn't going to worry about it again until winter like I said before. But I decided to check the front driveline, and sure enough the dual cardan joint is pretty damn bad. So I pulled the driveline out to test drive it and verify that that was the problem, and it was. Only problem is... I've never replaced one. I need some advice. Do I try to replace it myself, or send it to the driveline shop, or buy a used driveline from the yard? I don't know what to do. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
