Loud humming.........

Boredom? Confusion ?

Elaborate a little.

At speed ? sitting at idle ? turning at speed ? A Kazoo orchastra caught in the front air dam ?
 
hmmm....is there gear oil in it???? pull dif cover if ther is and see if there are metal shavings in it....itll prolly show you whats wrong, u just gotta get dirty lol....oh yea...dont get it on your clothes....bc it will make EVERYTHING you wash those clothes with smell like gear oil.....trust me, personal experience haha
 
Humming noise up front......

Most people would call that the motor......It's a chevy!!!!
 
Un plug it.
 
wow thanks for all the dumbass remarks. yea when im moving. Posted the thread in a hurry my bad. im thinking it does need gear oil but i cant find a fill hole.
 
if you have to just pull the diff cover, drill a hole.....go get a threaded plug from an auto parts store........and insert into new hole............what kind of front end do you have?
 
not sure...... 99S10 4X4 4.3L V6. This is the first truck i have owned so im really new to this stuff. Former honda head here......
 
more power to ya brother....i dont think i could work on a honda if i tried haha, yea i prolly could....but it might not go back together right.......i would just make a hole, fill it....and put a plug in it.....thats about the best advice i can give you......
 
remove front splash pan, on the drivers side of the front diff the fill plug is too the front of the case.

DO NOT use power tools to remove and install plug, make sure it threads in before you put a tool on it when you install, it is an ODD thread and tought to find a tap and plug for, don't fawk it up.

As for your humming, could be unit bearings ( wheel bearings) on either or both sides, if you've been playing in the mud, more than likely the bearings are shot. S trucks don't like mud, you'll find that out soon enough

YET, without the correct information, you replied with information not relivant to the situation.

The reason I posted as I did was to push the OP into adding more info, this is my job, and what I do here, deal with it.

IT is also to keep folks ( like you) from posting incorrect or incomplete info. Again, deal with it.

DO NOT ASSUME you know what is isn't there, most times, you will be wrong.

Depends on how much rust and goo are caught up in the bolts and spindle. Expect to pay $100+ per side more if it has ABS, might find 'em cheaper.

See how much fun mud is ?
