Has anyone experienced a resonance or moaning sound when driving around 40mph in 4wd? If so, and you got something fixed, what was it? I should never have said that "all the problems on my Titan seem to be fixed." Jinxed myself.
I wish I understood the sound your trying to describe.You can definately hear a drone when in 4hi, but not nearly as much as my 72 landcruiser.
How much snow were you going thru? Maybe it was the ABLS?.
"drone" is a good word for it. It's the same sound on just a little snow as it is in deep stuff. A resonating drone. None of my previous trucks droned like this. It's not loud, but it's definitely there.

Mine does it to. Between 40 & 50 mph. My last truck (Toyota) did the same thing, so I just took it as normal because of all of the extra drive train components moving. Once I hit 50 and above, it seems to go away.
Mine makes the same drone noise as you descride. It is louder on acceleration and is almost non existant at cruising speeds. FYI My 2000 F-150 made the same identical noise. I'm not worried about it!
No worries, like a lot of people this is my first shift on the fly vehicle with independent front suspension.
I've shyed away until I had no choice and after over 500 miles of 4Hi driving in the snow and ice I'm starting to appreciate not having to get out to lock in the hubs or stop on the side of the road to shift in and out of 4X. ( But I'm still not getting rid of my 72 landcruiser.) :rockon
I posted this a while ago... it's supposedly normal. The chevy's I guess are a lot worse (or was it the fords). Was with some guys and one guy said he couldn't believe the drone from his new chebby. The other guy said "all chebby's do that.. most 4wds do it" so I said "even my Titan does it..." Of course, I always get the "we don't care about your titan" look.. LOL!
Mine drones in 4WD too, at just about any speed really. I've noticed this on all my 4WD trucks I've had, but between the 3 latest trucks ('96 Taco, '00 Tundra and my Titan) the Titan is the noisiest in 4WD. Just figured it inherent in the design, since so many others notice this too.
Hopefully, nothing to worry about.
