It's audible and you can feel it too? From the front or back? If you
can hear it then it may be axle or wheel bearings.

If it's just a vibration put it in neutral and if it's there it could be
your wheels or driveshaft being out of balance.

                Hi All,

                Just a quick question--mainly to the other RT owners,
but may apply to all.
                I have noticed a strange HUM (drone, vibration, ????)
from my RT at high
                speeds. It normally starts about 85-90 and gets fairly
bad by 100+. What
                could be causing this? I don't have any other strange
vibrations at any
                other speed or RPM level. Could it be tires?
Alignment? Slightly out of
                balance drive shaft? How do I explain to the dealer
that my truck seems to
                hum at 100 mph?

                Thanks,
                Donny M Hayes
