when going down the thruway atarting to go over 35 there is a loud hum/whine that becomes very loud enough to maybe get ear plugs. Could this be ther wheel bearings and what might the cost be? I have a 1999 4wd dodge durango.

It could be the wheel bearings or the front/rear differential...depending on if you're drive in 4 wd...wheel bearings are usually $20-30/bearing plus labor...a differential a couple hundred plus labor

The humming noise could be a broken belt in one of your tires.It would be best to go to your local dodge dealer and ask for the shopforeman to drive the truck.This will save a boat load of your cash over someone that is going to guess at the problem and replace something that wont fix it.

If it just started doing it, wheel bearings could be the problem. Some tires can be pretty loud if they have a very agressive tread pattern designed for off road or winter use.

Start by checking tire pressure. Then is the hum constant or does it oscillate? If so this is a sign of a wheel bearing. Is your 4wd engaged? Check your oil levels in the tranny, rear ends and transfer case. Good luck.

yeah its probably the wheel bearings, I replaced mine in my car and they cost me $50 a pice but also another $150 to get them put on because whell bearing no family friend can put them on you have to have special machines. then again I only have but a 89 Honda accord so look up advance or Napa and find the price then find someone to put them on.
I'll even look up the price for you hold on a few secs.
Your looking at everywhere from $130 to $220 a pice thats manly because you got a 4 wheel drive it would of been cheaper if it was only a 2 wheel drive. so for parts you are looking at $260 to $440 in just parts.

Sounds like transmission problem, hard to tell. But if humming is bothering you you may try teaching the Durango some words.

So, your vehicle likes to humm a track whilst using? could desire to be the powersteering pump. undemanding to restoration, purely suck out the old fluid in the reservoir and pour in new fluid and try this once or twice a 365 days. i take advantage of a form of small plastic hand pumps you need to purchase on the vehicle areas keep or branch keep like Meijer's to suck out the fluid. I desire transmission fluid over playstation fluid except you purchase the Valvoline MaxLife playstation fluid. AND, forgot to show, it could desire to be the computerized transmission. you may the two take it in for a habitual provider or purchase some additive, my well known in the Slick-50 computerized tranny additive, or soome Lucas or Risolone computerized tranny additive, pump out a nil.5 quart to a minimum of one quart and upload the additive. Works like a attraction. stable luck!

I would have to say it is either your tires or a wheel bearing. If it is louder when you turn to a side then it is a wheel bearing.

What direction is the sound coming from? Could it be your tires on the road? Is the sound different depending on what road you drive on?
