Default Grinding noise...wheel bearing?

I recently drove on some rough dirt roads, and noticed a grinding sound shortly after. Sounds like a wheel bearing, but goes away at faster speeds. The only time I hear it is slowing down to stop or accelerating until I get back up to 10-15mph then it goes away again.

Feels a little rough when turning also, especially to the right.

My first thought was damaged wheel bearing, but I thought those normally made more noise at higher speeds.

Thanks for your help

Sounds like a wheel bearing. Jack up the truck and grab the wheel and check for excessive play. Up and down and left and right.

Default Seized Brake Caliper

Thanks for the help guys...actually ended up being a seized brake caliper. My question now is, looking around at some other threads I saw that sometimes a constricted brake line can cause a caliper to seize up. So when replacing the caliper should I also replace the brake line?
