Why does my truck sound like something is dragging?

Why does my car sound like a race car when I accelerate?
If you notice any rattling or whining sounds while you are accelerating, this could mean that your camshaft (timing) belt is poorly aligned or slipping. The timing belt synchronizes the turning of the crankshaft so that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper time.
Why does my car make a noise while driving?
What it means: This could come from worn or loose accessory belts that drive things like your power steering pump, air conditioner compressor and alternator. With newer cars, it may point to the serpentine belt, which drives multiple accessories at once, and is relatively easy and cheap to fix.
What does a dragging caliper sound like?
Squealing or metallic rubbing noise. If a brake caliper is sticking or freezing up, noises may be heard from the area of the damaged part. Unlike the noises related to worn brake pads (which occur when the brake pedal is pressed), this symptom is likely to be heard when the brakes are not being used.
What does a warped rotor sound like?
Noises When the Vehicle Brakes Warped rotors can cause a squeaking noise when the brakes are applied. They can also make a scraping or grinding sound when they’re warped and worn down. The squealing noise, however, can also be made by brake pads that are worn out.
How do you tell if a caliper is seized?
If the piston is stuck within the caliper, or the pad is stuck, the car can feel down on power (as if the parking brake is on). You may also notice the car pulling to one side with the steering wheel pointed straight, when cruising and not applying the brake. As you drive, the seized brake may also get hot – very hot.

Why do I hear a dragging metal sound?
It could be that it was a matter of left front bearing, right rear bearing, right front…, etc at different times and the impression is then left that the same bearing was replaced over and over again. If the same bearing is failing repeatedly after a short use then someone may not be doing an install correctly. EK_Hammer July 6, 2016, 4:59am #6
