When I drive my truck for, say, 2 hours or more it will start to emit a high pitched whine. It's hard to tell where the sound comes from, but I *think* it's coming from the front end, and the sound only seems to occur when I am lightly on the gas, or not fully off the gas. In other words, if I feather the throttle just right to make the truck neither coast nor pull, and then add a little bit more, then the sound occurs.
If I'm hard on the gas or completely off, then the sound doesn't happen.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for how to narrow down which component it might be that makes the noise? My first thought would be a mechanic's stethoscope but that's kinda difficult to use under the truck while driving......
Due to how the sound occurs I'd guess that it is driveline related, either a hub or a bearing.
