if there is no play in the thing dont replace it... are you sure its coming from mid truck and not the rear end? alot of the time it can be rear end bearings either in the wheels or the yoke

Yes, that sounds like good advice. I guess I'll drive it a while longer and see it it gets worse. Last time I drove it awhile at highway speeds, it seemed like I had a little vibration that I didn't have before.

I was in the differential last year to change the fluid, and everything looked great there.

Get a good spray lube and not a penetrating oil. Those bearings will make a good bit of noise when they arent properly lubed. A good synthetic spray lube will stay in place for a long while. Without taking it apart its gonna be hard to get bearing grease in there.
