Default 2000 7.3 random vibration no loss of power

Just trying to figure out where to start looking. On my way to work tis morning I felt a vibration/grinding that would come and go. The noise would go with the rpms but i had no loss of power and no lights came on and my gauges read normal but it worries me any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Check your harmonic balancer, Torque convertor bolts (to see if theyre all there and tight), & make sure your starter is working properly and not staying engaged. Also check fan clutch bearing play, as well as wtr pump for play. If you have a mechanic's stethescope, that will help pinpoint unusual noises as well.

So i have narrowed it down to my front left tire. I just replaced all ball joints and bearings less than a month ago. I did get it to stop by swithching it into 4wd this morning and that added more confusion.

I'm going to pull the hub off once I get home from work and look at it a little closer
