That sound I thought sounded like the bolts on the front fan hitting something, cuz that happened before, but so mechanic said it was an exaust leak. That a very faint putter sound. So what have I got left? Mmmm, something front end, I have a tiny clunk when breaking and taking off. It doesnt seem to be related to the usual stuff I've already had happen. Breaks are fine, tires wearing evenly, engine doesnt skip a beat, temp good, isnt the sound of low steering fluid cuz I know that one. Could where ever an exaust leak be finally break loose? I know diesel mechanics but who looks at the wheels and shocks and stuff? Just sounds like something in addition to the engine, not tire on pavement hum but something lower. Sort of surrounds you, windows up it is very faint. Doesnt affect anything either, that I can tell bt is sure freaking me out. Any ideas? Muffler? I do have a vibration noise on and off with the muffler. The best I can describe it is a low constant noise while I'm driving and it's there going slow and fast. More audible with the windows open. All I know is I dont wanna die in that truck. Been under it before and other than old leak stains, all I've ever seen is dirt in my eye. What kinda shop does shocks and wheel stuff? What can an exhaust leak do to me? Not even a vibration to go with this noise. I just dont know, this is new.

hub wheel bearings will make growl sounds when moving. most noticable 15-40MPH. as to who can do this type work and checking make sure the repair shop has done this before. make sure they know the proper torque required.
with exhaust leaks. these must be repaired. if the pipe is sound but has joint leaks high temp tape/sealer can be used. if the pipe/muffler is worn and rusted replace the worn out pieces or replace the entire system .
if you beath in exhaust gases you will have health issues.
