Ok here I go, ive been having a noise in my truck since the end of last winter but I just got it back after being in an accident. Now i need to fix it, when I am driving it makes like a roaring noise, as you start to slow down it changes its pitch but when you speed up its like a constent noise that you can hear in the cab, I was told it was the rear end so me and my brother opened the rear end to find out everything was fine(check the pinon for play). I dont know much about mechanics so im lost and I dont want to take it to a garage to get the run around. Any ideas to helping solve this issues would be greatly appritiated.

Try putting it on jack stands and running it to listen from underneath. Abearing could be going out. Sometimes an axle bearing goes out and you can tell by oil on the backing plate and if you move the wheel up and down you get a lot of movement. Compare both sides.

we tried that also, there was no play in the bearings at all check front and back, would the universal make a noise like that, someone told me a roller might be bad or something?

A bad u-joint can make that kind of noise. (Without hearing it, just guessing by your explanation). How many miles do you have on it. You couldn't get the noise with it raised up?

we didnt try running it while we had it up, when I go by a medium you can hear the sound reflecting back loud.
