    Bad car noises!

    OK, so i tried a search, but my problem was too vague to get any specific threads...

    I've got a lifted '99 with 115000 miles and 185/75/r16 tires (not big)

    I hear a grinding noise when i'm at speed on the freeway AND let off the gas. it has kinda the same feeling/sound as if i took the pads off my breaks and just let the caliper rub the rotor. but just a shade harder to hear because its coming from under the car more. when i'm driving around town it doesn't happen. so it probably is initiated by either the speed, or the 4th gear....

    I have several theories: transmission is shot, bad clutch, (suggested) bad water pump bearings, drive shaft/joint noise from the lift (about 2 months ago), diff noise.... Any of these sound right? the sound is horrible and i dont want to break anything further.... Please tell me it sounds like something cheap.....
