its a dodge ram 1500 2002 i didnt want to identify it at first dont want to get anyone mad because this is a pathy forum but most cars have the same basic idea just in different variants you think a siezed brake caliper would make a wheel bearing noise? and vibration?

the people that use this forum are usually nice and genuine this is about a different vehicle but alot of you are knowledgeable and or mechanicaly inclined enough to give me some advice or take on the matter. Ive tried posting on other forums and noone comments. so the issue at hand . what i thought was the passenger front wheel bearing has turned into a 3 day experiment trying to figure it out. first i jacked up the truck and checked for play and there is no play in either front tires so i replaced the right front wheel hub assembly with one from a junk yard (tight on money) i spun it many times before i installed it and it sounded ok .still vibrating and making a in and out humming tire sound kinda like a helicopter so i changed both of the rear wheel bearings still humming not vibrating as much so after a test drive i went around and felt the hubs and the drivers side hub and brake caliper were realy hot to the touch so im thinking it might be the drivers side hub assembly. i also replaced the passenger side cv axle and i couldnt get all the way on the spindle so its kinda loose could this also create a wheel bearing noise? im trying to take a ride down to florida to start my insulation job and be with my dog and family but this truck is keeping me still because i dont want to drive 600 miles with a bad wheel bearing thank you. by the way i loved my nissan pathfinder i actually became good friends with the dude i sold it to and its still going.

so a while back I had some problems with old pathy she even lit on fire at one point lol but I was able to change the timing belt, valve cover gaskets, starter, brake calipers and add a transmission cooler well she still has problems (transmission or rear differential whine,high rpms 4000 rpms at 65 to 70 mph, still leaks oil ive been driving it for the past month the way it is I even took it for a 200 mile drive there and back without breaking down still driving it to work. I recently put it on craigslist im gonna take 1100 for it even tho I put a lot of money in it my boss offered me his dodge ram 1500 recently transmission replaced and engine rebuilt at a shop for 2250 and ill have about 2gs at the end of this week from saving so Im really hoping for this. but I really wish I could've put an exterra motor in it put I just don't have the funds or the know how to do a transmission or engine swap.
