Hi DiabloX22,
I may have to take it to dealer this Saturday in Edison NJ. which is not far from where I live. I travel long distance to work and I hate to get stuck on the highway, bridge and or in a tunnel.
Thanks to all you guys for your feedback.

Yeah, reason why I say that is because the sound changes when you turn the wheel. I cant think of anything exhaust related that would cause change in sound due to the steering wheel being turned.

Does the sound change at all with RPM increase or just MPH?

A steady bearing is a center support for the driveshaft.

This is what i'm guessing it is. Especially since it goes away after warming the car up.

My manifolds leak for a bit when I first crank in the morning or when it cools back down to like 60 or below, but it sounds nothing like a turbo..

Hey guys, found the source of the noise. It was the front passenger side wheel bearing. Yackowski was right. Now, the truck is quiet as a mouse.
Thanks to all you guys for input.
