At about 65-70 mhp on the interstate I've got a bad droaning and roaring kind of noise. It has just started in the last couple of months. I know my transmission is going bad, could that be it? Change of subject. Can anyone in the Birmingham Alabama area help me with the kdp, I'm not too sure i want to tackle it alone. Thanks for all the help

Have you changed your exhaust or is it stock.
Straight pipes and some aftermarket pipes have a drone at about 2200 rpms.
If you have 3:55 gears that is the rpm range you would be at with the speed you described.

Nope no exhaust mods, you think i might have a hole or a leak?

Your tires have an aggressive tred. They might have worn unevenly now to the point of making noise at freeway speed.

I've got a similar problem still trying to find. If it's the tires then you should have the same droan when coasting in neutral (you may have to find a hill to keep up speed). If it disappears when coasting then could be tranny or may even be cooling fan clutch going south. Just some thoughts.

If none of these suggestions work, I had a similar noise in my truck. Thought my rear end was goin bad turned out to be my carrier bearing. Started makin a slight roaring noise then after about year and a half it got worse. Replaced the worn out carrier bearing and no more noise at all.
